Not really. Evolution only explains the persistence of traits which influence survival and reproduction. It can't explain why those traits arose in the first place (random mutation), or the existence of traits which don't affect survival or reproduction. It also can't explain why some traits never arose at all (say, winged humans). And to be really nitpicky, "evolution" is the observed fact that species change over time. It isn't an explanation at all. Natural selection is the explanation for evolution, both in general, and for specific traits.
