They have evolved to deal with it by exerting an equal amount of pressure outwards as the average amount of pressure that is pressing down on them from above. Humans have done the same, since we are bearing the weight of the entire atmosphere but never notice! Internally, we are exerting the same pressure outwards to balance it. Certainly this is not as much as at the bottom of the ocean, but without this mechanism we would be crushed.

How do gases behave under different pressures and different temperatures?

Gases behave differently at different pressures and temperatures. At low pressures, gases expand to fill the available space. At high pressures, gases become more compact. At low temperatures, gases condense into liquids or solids. At high temperatures, gases expand and exert greater pressure.
