It's been almost 20 years since I've watched Voyager. Can someone remind me what the context is for this meme?

Tom uses a shuttle to travel to warp ten. Once he reaches the threshold he's everywhere at the same time, becomes Kwisatz Haderach. When he comes back he starts mutating, loses his mind, kidnaps the captain, they fly off at warp 10.

By the time voyager finds them they've devolved(or evolved) into small amphibians, luckily the doc has a magic serum that will fix them. As the crew are about to leave they notice a bunch of tadpoles escape from the nest. Basically Tom and Kat had tadpole babies.

I always thought it was evolved, which I didn't understand at all.

You didn't understand it because it just didn't make sense. There is a very good reason why it's one of the most poorly rated episodes across all of trek.

It was, and it doesn’t make any sense. That’s not how evolution works lol, the writers really should’ve gone with mutating instead

If there's one thing Trek is totally consistent about, it's the writers having no fucking clue what evolution is.
