Don’t Catholics and Jews generally believe in evolution?

No.

But definitions matter.

Micro-evolution is better defined as adaptation within a species.

Macro-evolution has one species developing into another.

Once upon a time, a species was defined as being able to reproduce it's own kind.
Brown hair, blond hair, is simply a variation within a species.
If my pigmentation is darker than another’s, that is an adaptation.

Catholic teaching is fine with acceptance of evolution, as long as the basis is original creation by God.

The notion of infinite variation from a primordial soup, is an attempt to displace God from the process, as though it were some sort of accident, without purpose.
