    Seems to be the latter:

    The evolution factor is increased by three kinds of events:

    • The passage of time very slightly increases the evolution factor.

    • The global pollution production increases the evolution factor.

    • Destroying nests significantly increases the evolution factor.

      I’ve never understood how destroying nests logically accelerates evolution if none of them survive

        This other nests pickup on pheromones that tell them what the others died from.

        That or its a hive mind so they learn from each encounter.
