I mean it’s literally shrinking over time.. deteriorating. It will very likely eventually become useless, and die out.

I guess you can call that evolution if you want.. it’s certainly a selection pressure, anyway.

Thank you for the clarification! I was wondering if you meant literal shrinking, like telomeres, but over generations. I retract my former complaint!
