Evolution doesn't have a direction so surely it is possible for it to go backwards?
I see this question as nonsensical. Evolution only has 1 direction, and that is forward. Even if we eventually turn to slime in order to survive, it would still be forward evolution. If we eventually turn to single celled bacteria, it would still be forward evolution. There's no such thing as backward evolution.
