Tom,
"Evolution straights", "Evolution drops", "Evolution scents", "Evolution grows", for a theory Evolution sure does get around. Is there a Evolution Buns of Steel"? I wonder how it would work if we substituted "General Relativity"?
I though the meat of this was in the last stanza, the rest seems more the fancy windup before the pitch.
"Evolution grows the man to morph and model each new trait"
Does evolution grow? Isn't evolution a "cause' at best? So is man a "trait" model? Yes, could you bring out #13 again and have him spin twice, it would be ever so nice!
I do not give you points for using "anthropomorphic", I only give points when you use it correctly instead of personification, which is not the case here. However I am wondering if you are personifying or anthropomorphizing Evolution? I guess it would have to be personification, as that applies to abstract notions, and to not in any way belittle it, evolution is an abstract notions, no matter how dearly one clings to it.
Personally I think "septic sprawl" would have been more apropos that "concrete conurbations", but I will give you points for the alliteration. There's just too little in the way of tropes these days, not even enough to go to war should the call arise, but then again you already have us stalled and felled like so many cords of wood, time being the only factor yet to be determined, and that requires only a wait and see approach, no experiments even needed.
Almost forgot, is "Far suns from history illume us" a play on the Latin word for Troy? But then again, you were always Roman at heart. Well...everyone must have a fatal flaw.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
