Actually you can use evolution for all life on Earth it is a universal answer. Not only would evolution work here but other worlds as well. Maybe even in the vacuum of space.
Not...necessarily.
Evolution would most likely be universal for anything that is based on the organic chemistry, meaning that it is based on the carbon atom. Again, though, nature is an incredibly innovative thing, and there might well be some process out beyond Earth that keeps evolution from occurring or that substitutes it with something else. Forms of life that are not based on carbon atoms would not be restricted to the rules of organic evolution.
