"Evolution" is the first single from Korn's untitled album. The track does not feature original drummer David Silveria, nor does it include session drummer Terry Bozzio. Instead, Brooks Wackerman performed drumming duties.
The music video was directed by decorated video director Dave Meyers who has filmed the band's previous videos ("Did My Time" and "Twisted Transistor"). The video features Korn's fill-in drummer Joey Jordison (Slipknot, Murderdolls). The video discusses the topic of human devolution.
The video was first shown to Canadian fans on Much MOD, on July 23, 2007. During that time, Korn was present in the Much Headquarters, in Toronto, a day before their Family Values 2007 Toronto concert. The video depicts the resemblance between humans and monkeys, and shows the band performing the single in a dark red environment which is later shown to be a monkey's brain. On the same day, the video was released to MTV2.
Some have criticized Korn for stealing the idea of Devolution from New Wave band Devo. On the Devo website, Gerald Casale states of the Korn's trailer website and concept: "We denounce this as imposters playing with fire."
