You're pretty close bro...here is a question from an interview with warrel..

What's "Evolution 169" about?


"Hehehe, that's a secret!"


You can't have secrets in this business!


"Ok, the title refers to something that deals with chaos mathematics, and that's one of those songs that I'd kind of like people to walk away with something different, you know when each person listens to it. Some times when I'm writing lyrics, I don't want them to be so defined. I want them to be a little vague, so… it was more entertaining for me when I was a kid and I was listening to my favorite bands - I loved to trying to figure out what exactly the lyrics meant."

Its actually about the mathematical chaos theory. What the hell thats supposed to be about I dunno.

My first guess on what it was, was that it was the genetic manipulation of humans to create a superior or enhanced being. Or even perhaps gene splicing.
 
ba-da-bump!

i was thinking about this recently....being that 1+6+9=16, and 1+6=7, does it have to do with warrel's love of the number seven?
 
"The title of the song “Evolution 169” refers to properties of chaos theory and chaos mathematics, but the lyrics here are likely another LSD-induced allegory. Dane announces “today I killed my ego” and compares humanity-at-large to rats in an experiment who can “touch, but never taste the answers like the way that I want you."
