Is it though? Because evolution is only really concerned with a thing living long enough to reproduce. It's not planned like eugenics would be.
That's why there's tons of examples of dumb as hell stuff in biology because as long as an organism is "good enough" to keep reproducing and spreading their genes that is fine and that species will continue to evolve.
Eugenics would be more like if evolution somehow could select only for specific traits and then made sure to only let things with those traits reproduce. Evolution is much messier than that.
