In that item it is implicitly said that if the evolutionism is a logical impossibility, it looks the same for the opposite: how is possible that the superior be degenerated? The answer would be a metaphysical decision against the hierarchic principle.

ON THE SECRET OF DEGENERATION
Julius Evola
If Christian mythology attributes the Fall of Man and the Rebellion of the Angels to the freedom of the will, then it comes to much the same significance. It concerns the frightening potential that dwells
in man of using freedom to destroy spiritually and to banish everything that could ensure him a supra-natural value. This is a metaphysical decision: the stream that traverses history in the most
varied forms of the traditional-hating, revolutionary,
individualistic, and humanistic spirit, or in short, the "modern" spirit. This decision is the only positive and decisive cause in the secret of degeneration, the destruction of Tradition.
If we understand this, we can perhaps also grasp the sense of those
legends that speak of mysterious rulers who "always" exist and have
never died (shades of the Emperor sleeping beneath the Kyffhäuser
mountain!). Such rulers can be rediscovered only when one achieves
spiritual completeness and awakens a quality in oneself like that of
a metal that suddenly feels "the magnet", finds the magnet and
irresistibly orients itself and moves towards it. For now, we must
restrict ourselves to this hint. A comprehensive explanation of
legends of that sort, which come to us from the most ancient Aryan
source, would take us too far. At another opportunity we will
perhaps return to the secret of reconstruction, to the "magic" that
is capable of restoring the fallen mass to the unalterable, lonely,
and invisible peaks that are still there in the heights.
