Sheldon gave a good answer, evolution is all about adapting to whatever nature throws your way.

It would be interesting to try and predict what kind of challenges are likely to be on the horizon. With global warming effecting our planet's temperature, I'd be tempted to suggest that adapting to a hotter environment will come in useful relatively soon.
