If we can evolve, that means we can devolve as well, correct?

Evolution does not envision any perfect organism, only one which survives. There is no normative goal toward which we are evolving.

Evolution doesn’t point toward perfectibility, only survival. Perfection is normative and in the provence of values. That’s theology, not science.
