Only true of humans. It still is fully operating in the non-human world. For instance, mosquitos. In my lifetime I have personally witnessed the evolution of mosquitos because of all the pesticides used to kill them.

Sure, but what it takes to survive/pass on genes has drastically changed for both humans and animals given human intervention in the "natural" world. Animal preserves and the Endagered Species Act are both good example.
