When I talk about humans being meant or designed to live a certain way, I mean by evolution.

Evolution is the change of a species over time--it does not have a conciousness in order to "mean" to do things. The related reasoning in the article appears to infer the superiority of the last 10,000+ years of "hunter-gatherers" over the last few thousand years of larger organizations with managers for a specific purpose (building pyramids, aquaducts, etc.)--but these large public works projects are in fact the very hallmarks of the advancement of evolution. I'm not saying that we were "meant" to work in large organizations, but it is hard for your article to that conclusion using evolution as a reason. Indeed, the concept of evolution would seem to contradict your point. By definition, your ancient bands of hunter-gatherers were less evolved than we technologists are today, and today the large organizations (from government to google) reign supreme...therefore, large organizations are more "evolved"...
