Can you check your progress before moving to next stage?

I seem to be unable to find out myself, but is there a way to check your progress after achieving the milestone to reach the next stage? For example, if during cell phase I get enough to move to land, but I want to check if I am following the correct diet.

Solution 1:

The way to check your history before evolving is to hit the t button. This brings up the species history. Once you are done looking, hit the t button again. This is the only way not to be locked in to evolving. However, if you like the current arrangement, you can go ahead and evolve.

Solution 2:

There is nothing preventing you from saving, evolving to the next phase, and, if you got a dissatisfaction result, reload your save game.
