>From "So You Think You Can Dance":

(MC: "Did you come up with this dance idea yourself?" Or some such.)

"No. [Name], a b-boy from Korea, _evolutionized_ the move."

The OED Online has this word from 1883, but not this use (n)or any
cite later than 1885.

come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
