I would say that is not so - an individual doesn’t evolve, evolution is the change over time of a gene pool of a population of breading individuals. An individual human didn’t evolve the ability we have to sweat glands all over, but the slow change of offspring with better sweating abilities was selected for over a long time giving us the endurance advantage we have over most other mammals.

The change in an individual compared to parents would be more of a variance or mutation depending on what it is, it is only evolution when that change continues on in the population.
