He could, however, reproduce... and the having of offspring (as IA rightly stated) is where evolution makes its mark.

no. evolution works over generations of a species, not on an individual.

 

Not necessarily. Evolution can happen within a second, such as an instantaneous event that kills off a certain subset of individuals in a species and changes their allele frequencies.

I was wondering what if there was a man that could live forever. Would he evolve?

 

If you define evolve, the answer to that will be obvious.

Not necessarily. Evolution can happen within a second, such as an instantaneous event that kills off a certain subset of individuals in a species and changes their allele frequencies.

 

Even then, though, the individual still won't evolve.
