I think there may be some confusion from the OP's perspective about what biological unit is evolving. The individual isn't. So no singular human is evolving, but the population of humans is evolving generation after generation.
Right. It's not like a fish gave birth to a squirrel at some point... though I do always find Mr. Garrison's take on evolution funny.
