Because there are two paths of evolution; physical and spiritual.
Physical is discontinuous, and spiritual is continuous. Although
everybody has 5th root race bodies, not everybody is using the
yet-not-fully-developed buddhi manas (higher mind), spending most of the
time using the fully developed kama manas (emotion/desire driven mind).
