I'd say that the beliefs regarding evolution vary. However, most Shinto practicioners would accept evolution as a fact to be dealt with. Shinto isn't dogmatic in doctrine, so it is very adaptable with the newest scientific findings. After all, the Kojiki states that even the greater heavenly kami came from chaos. Most today see the creation myth as symbol after symbol. We could see evolution as the literal route which the kami used to fashion biological organisms. Shinto is partially influenced by Taoism and Buddhism, which would stress the impermanence of things. This would include definite forms, so that over time there would be change in offspring.
