The "no evolution" thing isn't entirely true, mutation and selection still happens even with parthenogenetic reproduction. What's true however is that there's no active selection element to it. In most sexually reproducing animal species, mate selection plays a huge part in which genes are passed on and which aren't. Without mating, things get a lot more random.
