I thought adaptation was part of evolution, as evolution is the process which causes genetic adaptations. I don't think I'm confusing the two concepts.
Now that I rethink it, you're right. More evolved means the creature went through more changes. One race could be more adapted, while at the same time having been through less changes, thus are less evolved while being more adapted.
As for my supermen, they could be bred to have lower body temps and require less food.
