I've always seen it as more that the humans evolved having to learn faster 
due to their shorter lifespans compared to the non-human races. This seems 
to be supported by the multiplier for orcs (who have an even shorter 
lifespan) having a lower multiplier than the human base one.

Or, to put it another way, races with long lifespans have a tendency to be 
more relaxed about getting things done...
