?  Definition of the word: A gradual process in which something changes
into a different and usually more complex or better form.

IMO there has been no change in our species except for those caused by
malnutrition and environmental changes, nor has anyone shown that there
ever was any change.

It follows that we if we enjoyed the same diet and environment as our
paleolithic ancestors for enough generations we would be physically
identical to them. The improvement in health resulting from eating what 
we think is their diet is evidence in support of this.

Environment is n-dimensional.
