She didn't stop. Evolution is a continuous and very slow process. Do not think that once a lizard hatched a bird from an egg, this, of course, did not happen.
What the previous commentator calls “degradation”, paradoxically, is also part of evolution, since even the extinction of species is part of biological evolution.
