At the broadest level, cultural evolutionary processes are fast and powerful relative to natural selection acting on genes. This means that over periods of centuries (as is the case here), cultural adaptation will tend to dominate genetic adaptation, though in the longer run—over many millennia—genetic evolution can have larger effects and, in many cases, push things further than culture alone could.
