Incorrect. Most people misunderstand evolution. Evolution is not a ladder. Evolution is the process of adapting. That is not the same thing as perpetually getting better. Change does not have to imply each successive step is 'higher' than the last. When the environment changes, so must the things that live within it. Evolution simply tracks the survival or extinction of traits.
