A question about the mathematical abilities of humans

In the book "Two Carts and a Balloon," the rabbi brings up the parable of two tuned clocks in the context of man's adaptation to the world, and concludes that it is more reasonable to claim that there is a coordinating factor (=Gd) between the two clocks, contrary to the conventional view that the mechanism of clock A (=the world) is what drives the mechanism of clock B (=man). In particular, the rabbi refers to man's mathematical ability and claims that there is no reason for such an ability to exist, and it cannot provide a survival advantage.
But is it so? First, we do not have well-developed mathematical and physical intuitions. It is easy for us to think about the most basic concepts, such as distance, shapes, speed, acceleration, which we encounter in everyday life. In connection with these concepts, it is certainly understandable that there is a survival advantage. An animal that knows how to navigate in space, and knows how to decipher when various threats are approaching it, will survive better in the world, and this will continue to develop through the process of natural selection.
The mathematical achievements that are further from intuition have developed thanks to two factors: exceptional geniuses, in whose brains one can see a kind of mutation that includes the refinement of the above-mentioned basic abilities, and a collective effort – contributions from many people (geniuses and just smart people) accumulated over hundreds of years, step by step. Each step contains a little bit of basic intuition, but all together it is already very far from basic intuitions.
Beyond that, we only perceive (or succeed) in areas where there is truly human potential to decipher the world. There may be billions more vashas, ​​or laws of nature, that we are unable to perceive, and never will.
Some argue that quantum mechanics is exactly on this seam. It is on the edge of our intuitions, and indeed there is almost no correspondence between the "clocks". Nor does it need to be, because it is already far from the basic concepts that provide a survival advantage.
It follows, then, that evolution certainly explains mathematical ability, and the simpler and more plausible solution to adjusting the "clocks" lies in it, so why is there a need for a correlation factor?
