Evolution is simply evolution - a living organism adapting to its environment. To say "reverse" would imply that the progression of fins to limbs is progression, and that to go from limbs to fins is regression. The theory of the process of evolution shoudn't preclude the possiblity of a multi-celled organism adapting to it environment by going to a single-cell organism if that's what's required for its long-term survival. Or am I crazy? There's no such thing as reverse evolution. Evolution is simply evolution - a living organism adapting to its environment.

Before the Sahara Desert was a desert, it was a lush ocean where the first whales made their home. Go figure!
