Elites assume there is no limit to the changes they can inflict on human nature.

In this, they are correct. There is no limit to the extent to which conscious culture can change human nature.

Biology, however, effects strict constraints on the timeframe of change. Cultural changes to basic human nature can only play out in biological-evolutionary time,and in some cases cannot play out at all.
