I have organized evolution, but the game does not recognize it. I cannot unlock "the flesh is weak" or "understanding about matter".
The game says: Does NOT have the Organized Evolution advancement advantage. Which is not true.
1. I am using a Ps4 Pro
2. Latest on ps4
3. All for the PS4
4. From the beginning, since I started the game months ago.
6. Yes, 4 private game sessions and 2 online
7. Switched to my second Ps4 Pro. Did not help.

What exactly do you mean by the game doesn't recognize it?

I mean beyond the achievement/trophy not popping?


Separately, when you started this game months ago, did you have Ironman Mode enabled?
This is an option all the way at the bottom of the Galaxy Settings and unless turned on, you can't get achievements [may not 100% sure in multiplayer sessions]

Once you make a choice on which of those 3 routes you want to go, you are locked in and can't access the other ones at all. In this case, when you grabbed Engineered Evolution, it locked you out of going down both The Flesh is Weak and Mind Over Matter routes. This is accurate and not a bug.

yes, everything is clear to me. I'm talking about iron mode and I can't get the trophies because of the bug. . The fact is that I unlocked the Organized Evolution advancement benefit, but the game pretends I haven't unlocked it yet. Therefore I cannot activate any of the 2 routes.

So after I have acquired organized evolution as an advancement advantage and have also unlocked all the technologies that are necessary, in the normal case you should be able to unlock the flesh is weak or mind over matter. But that doesn't work because the game tells me I haven't activated Organized Evolution yet, but I activated it a long time ago. I now have this bug in several game sessions on 2 PS4s.
 
Yeah since you took the Engineered Evolution Ascension Perk, the other two (Mind Over Matter and The Flesh Is Weak) become unobtainable in that save game

That has been a thing since Ascension Perks got added in 1.5 alongside Utopia
"Ascension perks have 3 major paths that are exclusive. One path focuses on psionics and establishing contact with The Shroud, a second path focuses on biological mastery and genetic modification, and the third path focuses on turning your species into fully synthetic androids"

If your game didn't have iron man mode enabled when you started it up, achievements/trophies are disabled by default
If it did have iron man mode enabled then this would indeed be a bug [unless you didn't do what the trophy required]


looking at the trophy list, there are 3 separate trophies, 1 for each of the routes with specific requirements

Beyond the Veil - Breach the Shroud : You need to be a Spiritualist empire to even get the Psionics tech to show up, but you need to complete the special situational log after you get the Transcendence AP. You should get the trophy either once this is done or after your first contact with the entity known as The Shroud

Like Tears in Rain - Evolve into perfect, immortal machines : You can get this on any empire type that isn't Spiritual as long as you have the right tech researched [Robots>Droids>Synths>Synthetic Leaders] and then you finish both the The Flesh is Weak and Synthetic Evolution situational logs once you've gotten the appropriate AP unlocks

Controller Evolution - Genetically modify a species to possess traits worth 7 points : Once you've reached the right tech and gotten both the Engineered Evolution and Evolutionary Mastery, you'd have to go into the people tab, then species and then choose a species in your empire (recommended is use your main species) then just give them positive traits. Each trait has a point value, so fiddle around with it until you find a combination that nets you at least the 7 point requirement
