Hello there,
So this is the observation: "Evolution is about humans" therefore 'Evolution could be about humans'? Why not? There is something to be said, for exhausting the potential of a given form, without simply waiting for the next one: it means more survival, not less - on the assumption that selection pressures aren't changing detrimentally in the meantime (a risk you were already prepared to take, in the context of your first believing in "Evolution"). This is not the same as Evolution, and should be recognised as a use of theory in its own right.
Like someone, discovering gravity - they should not stop with the discovery of gravity, but explore all the features of gravity they can unite under the one theory. This is called a productive use of existing knowledge, to further a more adaptable end. If you did this consistently, you would have grounds to say that Evolution was "advancing" not merely describing novum, with no connection with novelty. If you are truly interested in something, it is because it has novelty - but scientism has blinded you to the context, in which Evolution works. Not mining your existing design for adaptation is a risk - it is better to be risk averse (than blindly accepting).
Darwin didn't discover "Evolution" because it was 'true', but because it was an effective way of interrelating related subjects - he was in effect exhausting the possibility that humanity might recognise things that would drive it forward, adaptively. Not doing this is a mistake. Over time, ignoring that there might be more potential in your adaptations, makes you comfortable with your Evolution decaying, and taking you with it. If Evolution is relative (as many things are), then you will discover that how you interpret the potential of a given species, is important, to the greater adaptation of the design it has adopted. Ignoring this is making a god of your own way of doing things.
Don't be cheap and backward, start to consider what potential will be there, when your life is tested. The test is coming for everyone, Jesus warned us of this. He did not want us to perish without having experienced life and made it clear that if we don't repent, we will never achieve our peak. There is life in the words of Jesus, He describes how to live wisely and increase the chances that we will be successful in reckoning with things that destroy our potential. For example, sometimes our perspective gets in the way, because we will not choose sides - like we have no way of interpreting Evolution, because we have become complacent with it, viz. what way we miss out when we do not validate the righteousness God presents us with through that Evolution.
Don't let the subtext of your life, be that you are 'evolved' and don't care about anything else, in life! Your life has potential. As much as I am able, I will help you understand what is said about Jesus, through Evolution, if you want, but if I am given an ultimatum of "forget Jesus, or die" I will rather die.
I hope you understand.
