Quote from Daal:
Taleb's argument actually makes sense, evolution helps animals became the fittest against past events, it doesnt help them to cope with future unpredictable events
Since taleb has the view that black swans are becoming more important due globalization(kurtosis is increasing) and other factors then species are not exactly fit to cope this new world since it will look nothing like that past, hence they are full of 'hidden risks'
An example would be almost every animal on the planet suffering from the effects of polution that were the result of the unpredictable event of humans learning how to burn oil and the massive auto industry boom of the last 100 years
