Devolve is just evolve with a d. Evolution can't go backwards unless we can reverse time and/or the second law of thermodynamics. There is no more or less evolved. There may be fitter or less fit, but that is relative to the environment, not an abstract idea of normalcy suggested as by "devolve".

That's at least how this biologist sees it.
