Progressive evolution?


"If we consider a modern car as representing progress over the Model T Ford, we are equally justified to call the human species progressive compared to lower eukaryotes and prokaryotes. It all depends on how we interpret the word 'progressive.' However, Darwinian progress is never teleological." (Mayr 2002, What Evolution Is, p. 237)
