I don't think anything can evolve in a space that wastes that much energy with proof-of-work.

  Your DNA doesn't change very much throughout the course of your life. One a program is on a blockchain, much less energy is expended to maintain it compared with the POW used to create the block..

      You should look up the definition of evolution.

        "Evolution is change in the heritable traits of biological populations over successive generations." I claimed that there are many generations needed for programs to evolve, which POW limits because the generation of new contracts is not cheap.
