Which natural hazards are the most difficult for humans to adapt to?

Those that are rare or unexpected, such as earthquakes and tsunami; or those which are devastating - such as a summer snowstorm or earthquakes, tsunami, or major flooding.
In general our propensity to value flood plains, and locations at cliff tops or the base of unstable hills, these whilst attractive have their real concealed hazards.
How did the flood plain get here? how did the cliff arise? and so on.
The above only deals with some local property hazards. To this must be added an unexpected arrival of a new disease variant, Perhaps the appearance of a nearby supernova, or a gamma ray blast. The arrival of another Chixculub meteorite would be troublesome as well, and beyond our ability to usefully react. in particular I'd say most folk would have difficulty with some of the communication satellites being turned off to preserve them during a major Solar storm. [This possibility is why commercial airliners do not rely for navigation on GPS.]

Why have monkeys stopped evolving?
First of all, humans did not evolve from monkeys. This is a misconception made by people who have a simplistic idea of evolution. Monkeys and humans do share a common ancestor. I will answer the general question: Why does any organism evolve? Organisms evolve in order to better adapt to and survive in their environment. There is a natural competition for survival and that's what drives evolution. Our ape ancestors were becoming more intelligent, and evolution favors intelligence.
