One of my professors once said that it's a huge mistake to believe that evolution is progress or that evolution produces a "better" creature. Evolution is simply the process by which living things become more adapted at living in their particular environment. See the example of the naked molerat that has basically lost its vision. Does that make it a "better" creature? No, it's just highly adapted to its environment.

So what does it say about our environment that we're evolving into sickly blobfish with mental health issues?
