Sorry, folks, evolution isn't a choice. OK, maybe alligators said no thank you, but the rest of us evolve.
If you want proof, look up peer-reviewed literature on North American songbirds. Because we cut down forests, their wings have changed over the last hundred years. They are more pointed now. Other birds, who now live in heavily forested areas, have more rounded wings.
Humans have changed, too. We digest food differently now because we no longer just eat meat. Also, people are able to digest lactose into adulthood. That ability was previously turned off in early childhood as only children drank milk before cattle were domesticated. There are many examples if you bother to look.
You can't blame evolution for anything. It has ALWAYS existed. It's like blaming the Sun for shining.
Blame humans for educating themselves. Well, most humans.
