Are there really people who seriously claim that cities cause all of society's woes? Well, yeah. But saying that cities put the people in them at a disadvantage, evolutionarily speaking, seems to kinda, y'know, be denied by the facts. Cities are everywhere. Lots of people live in them. More all the time. And yes, the suburbs count as cities. Cities are part of the domestication of humans we've managed. Unless you're out hunting in the wilds with bow and spear, or farming (without machinery), you're a city person. There's a reason city and civilization sounds so much alike.
