Actually, evolution is in precisely the same category as the market, as far as historical understanding goes. A cadre of ideologues believe that creatures just got here as they are and did not change since, just as a cadre of ideologues believe that ancient people lived in a socialistic utopia in harmony with the earth until a bunch of dead white males ruined everything.

I don't recall any ancient documents referring to observations of the evolutionary process, whereas there are numerous ancient references to marketplaces.

Only if you assume that there is no place for intelligent consideration and pursuit of specific goals in peoples' economic decisions. Once you factor in the influence of human intelligence on economic decisions, the whole thing falls apart.
