Evolution means changing of different bodies. The spirit soul is changing from one body to another, and finally he's coming in the human form of body. This is a chance to know the actual position. And if he takes this chance, he can go back home to, back to Godhead.
Lecture on SB 1.2.1 -- New Vrindaban, September 1, 1972:

Guest: What is evolution, according to the Vedas? What is this evolution that is talked about by the scientists?

Prabhupāda: Evolution means changing of different bodies. The spirit soul is changing from one body to another, and finally he's coming in the human form of body. This is a chance to know the actual position. And if he takes this chance, he can go back home to, back to Godhead. Otherwise, he is again put into the cycle of birth and death in different species of life.

Guest: From what I've heard, I've heard it explained that the body is made up of many, many different living entities.

Prabhupāda: Huh?

Guest: Our soul is just like the controlling soul. Can you explain that?

Prabhupāda: What is that?

Pradyumna: He's heard it explained that the body is made up of many, many different entities. Living entities.

Guest: That within each cell is like a living entity. The soul is just the controlling...

Devotee: ...or that each cell is a living entity.

Prabhupāda: Yes, all right. What is the wrong there?
