This is probably one of the most interesting questions I've answered:
We live in a world of change. And, as you might know, all animals adapt to change, so, answering the question: we adapted to quick adaptation.
Not too long ago, we had big heavy phones, and now, we have super thin "bezelless" iPhones; a couple of years ago, we barely knew all of the mysteries our planet has to offer (and we still don't), but now, we're already studying the composition of mars. And if you stop to think about it, you'll find many more examples.
In nature, things don't adapt in 50 years, nor do they in 100. Adaptation is something that takes generations, and generations. To change the world we live in, we need to make people adapt once again. But we cannot fail, since we've damaged this holy planet enough to make such a big mistake*.
* - Adaptation is more serious than it looks, especially when it's artificial. What we need, in simple words, is to teach people how to think in a positive way; always having in mind, positive is what benefits everybody.
