Dunno why, but I want to share what I understand about evolution. After I've been replied about "outdated_opinions" and stereotypical reaction combined with accusing me of being stereotypical, I've got a feeling I have to explain some things.
First, The evolution isn't a linear process. It isn't really much of process at all. It isn't even limited to living things. It's a basic principle of systems.
Second, nothing I say about evolution is based on stereotypes. All of this is based on the principles of evolution under here.
Third, if you find any discrepancies in my theories, feel free to point at them. Of course it shouldn't be "It's not true because I don't want it to be true and I believe all was created by giant jade teapot brewing nanomachine tea", but actual answer concerning theory itself.
Okay, let's start. The evolution as I see it is one of the most basic principles in the world. We start learning it in physics class.
Electrical current? Yes, it is.
Electrical current, in my theory, is an evolution of the system "Electrical field-particle". Not the current itself, but the force moving it. Enthropy? Yup, it is evolution of system "universe".
There are two basic optimum states. In fact, second is a type of the first, but it's important and I wish to keep it out there as a separate one.
First optimum is Pareto optimum - the state of a system where no elements of the system suffer a loss from next change and some of the elements gain a slight advantage over previous state. For example, gaining an ability to walk with knees straight is a Pareto optimality due to Australopitecus Afarensis already making use of bipedal locomotion (therefore losing nothing), but not being able to move as fast as homo habilis and homo erectus (therefore them gaining enough of advantage to eat species inferior in that aspect).
Second is a minimum-liability optimum. It's a state where system stops wasting resources of one element without losing any advantage when doing so. When a man becomes deaf, his speech deteriorates because there is no feedback of his voice, therefore, him having and not having an ability to speak correctly is the same from the position of homeostasis.
So that's the basic. Remember, when I was showing you the lightning and saying it was evolution? Well, I still think so.
Oh, and of course, evolution of humanity's tools is a part of evolution of humanity itself.

A particle tends to take a position with minimum energy.
Electrical current? Yes, it is.

Enthropy is a force driving a system toward an optimum state.
