I’ve always have had a natural understanding of evolution. The concepts to me are as natural as breathing. Back when I was just staring my biology degree, I walked into a class of 800 students in the standard biology 110 course and scored 4th highest without going to a lecture, and I never had much experience in evolutionary biology before. The second class was the classic biology material and my equal effort got me a C, heh. The subject matter to me is as clear as gin, and goes down easier. I switched my major to one more ‘evolution’ based from the basic biology and have never understood how people have a hard time understanding evolution.
That being said don’t over estimate evolution any more than underestimate. Not all positive traits survive, not all negative ones die off, and just because it could work doesn’t mean the right mutations will happen to allow it.
I don’t think you can be a really competent biologist without understanding evolution, on almost any level. The interlocking species, the ebb and flow of bio-diversity, the basic chemistry of the cell is all part of this understanding.
Just always remember that you are the end product of for billion years of evolution, but so is the mosquito you just swatted and the bacteria growing on your teeth.
