Even the gene for lactose tolerance in adult humans is only about six thousand years old and by no means is it widely spread, a simply astounding number of people have problems digesting our modern agriculture based diet heavy with starches and gluten, I think the scope of this problem is only now becoming evident.
In the social sphere there is the problem of shyness, generally shy people aren't shy with those they know well, shyness is a problem that wouldn't even show up in the small hunter-gatherer bands we are evolved to live in, it's a problem of larger communities brought about by the invention of agriculture and later civilization. In the type of society we have now being shy is a huge disadvantage to social and reproductive success where in a hunter-gatherer culture it wouldn't even be an issue since there would be no strangers to be shy with. If we were truly mentally evolved to fit in civilized society then shyness would be far less prevalent than it is in the human race.
Just because we can force ourselves to fit in civilization by no means implies we have biologically evolved for that role.
