evolve in
Traditional custom , taken the world over , is a mass of detailed behavior more astonishing than what any one person can ever evolve in individual actions , no matter how aberrant .
I can understand the first part without "more astonishing........ever evolve in individual actions'. So what does the second part mean?

There is a comparison between a custom (of a people) and a habit (of one person). No matter how strange an individual's habit may be, a custom is more astonishing. A habit is a pattern of individual actions that one person develops (evolves).

Got it. But sometimes, I still feel confused even though the texts have been translated into Chinese. For instance, the book WALDEN POND. Of course, what I have asked is simpler than the WALDEN POND.I mean I don't know how to develop my ability of comprehension gradually. Maybe I can read some classic works or profound texts by referring its translation, and understand simple things like newspaper
