Of course civilization and evolution are different concepts but in terms of human evolution, one directs the other.
Wrong. Evolution and civilization are completely different and have nothing in common. Humans have created thousands of different civilizations, in many ways it is a function of variables like religion and its practices, economy, geography, climates, available resources. But in no way do these factors affect evolution. What you are suggesting is something aking to Lamarckism. You can't will yourself or act yourself to evolution.
Evolution is a biological process, civilization is a conceptual one.
