I mean, we evolved to hunt, gather, and avoid being eaten by sabretooth tigers (or whatever).
There's no reason to suppose we have the capacity to understand the universe. It's pretty amazing that we've come as far as we have.
I mean there's plenty of reason to
suppose
that. Basic physics follows pretty simple rules. Classical electricity, magnetism and gravity all follow only slightly more complicated inverse square and net flux = 0 rules. It's only when we get to atomic and smaller scales where the universe gets weird, and even there we've figured out math that describe it, even if it's currently too complicated to solve computationally.
Obviously there's no reason why
a priori
the universe should've been built in a comprehensible way, but it sure seems like it is, for whatever reason.
