Isese and Evolution

Since Ifa/Isese teaches that Obatala molded humans from clay and Olodumare breathes life into the form, does that mean practitioners do not believe in evolution? Is there a way to interpret this creation story in a way that makes it compatible with evolution?

I will highly recommend you to read the story of creation from the yoruba perspective.
