Aging is the evolution of the individual physical constitution, not the evolution of the population gene pool.
One could apply the word evolution to any process of change involving anything, whether it appears to have a direction or goal or not. In fact the word evolution was made popular first when it was used to refer to the step by step process of change in troops or naval ship formation as they deploy from March to battle during the 16-18th centuries.
But biological evolution refers specifically to the evolution of population gene pool.
