Increased Human Tolerance With Each Other Over History Is Evidence Of Evolution.
I think it could be. It's an explanation to how our morals have grown. What do you think?

This could be considered evidence for evolution in some particular ways. However, it’s not presumably a very strong piece of evidence. Plus, the theory of evolution really doesn't need this piece of evidence in its support anyway. It’s already gotten far more credible confirmations.

Evolution refers to genes, and I'm pretty sure there aren't genes that control our thoughts. Increased tolerance just means that we are smart and learn from the past.

You presume increased human tolerance, but I have not seen any actual proof that there is an increase.
I would say that you need to prove that there is such tolerance.

It does seem to me that the theory of social evolution is at odds with Darwinian evolution. Where the evolution of morality is actually the suppression of our instincts. Morality goes contrary to survival of the fittest and natural selection. It may very well be a theory of societal evolution, but does it then cancel out Darwinian evolution?

Morals haven't grown one bit. The last century was bloodier than all the preceding centuries combined, and the "me generation" is sunk in the swamp of the Self.

Evolution takes millions of years, and Homo Sapiens haven't been around that long, and furthermore, morality is not something that is caused by mutations.

Tolerance is cultural. Evolution is biological. The two are not the same. That's a good thing though. Cultural "evolution" occurs at a much faster rate than natural evolution.
