Correct. We evolve to current limits, and either prosper, perish, or evolve *around* those limits. This is exactly the problem most of evolution has. There has not yet be any evidence of evolution *around* those limits. The entire theory is built on that premise but so for it has nothing to support it except similar features in many species. The problem is all our understanding on genetics shows that for a species to leap that boundary there has to be several independent mutations at the same time in the same creature and then that creature has to reproduce. Genetic study can't get around that yet or they would have declared evolution 'proven'. Until they can bridge that amazing improbability with something other than 'given billions of years it will happen' then it will remain an unprovable theory.

Sure there are. Can't outrun the predators? Figure out how to make a pointed stick.
