"evolution" is perhaps the wrong word. In the novel, evolution is portrayed
as a series of abrupt steps (enforced by a superior alien civilisation).
They view mankind as a huge experiment. The time spent in the Victorian
house (supposed to be zoo/lab) is many decades to us - but only a few
moments to the aliens. The re-birth at the end of the film signifies the
next "step" in the "evolution" process.
