Well, this isn’t my field, but there are genetically engineered crops so it seems like engineering can beat nature in some conditions. Perhaps there are parts of the fitness landscape evolution will not reach due to requiring jumps rather than incremental change?
But this is a good question, and I’d like to see an answer from a biologist who knows what they’re talking about, as opposed to my wild guessing.
