No it isn't evolution. Evolution works via envirnmental pressure that favors traits or disfavors traits. For instance a long neck is a favorable trair in areas with trees because it lets a ground dwelling herbivore to eat food that would be previously unreachable and thus has less competition for. There is nothing in our environment that favors children who mature faster to children who don't. Kids who don't grow up fast aren't dieing because of it. They aren't rendered unable to breed from it. In fact, in modern society there is no trait that is disfavored. No matter what physical or mental disability a person might have, they almost always have the chance to live and reproduce. The only evolutionary factor with humans is who has the most kids.

Also, we didn't evolve from monkeys. We evolved from apes. In fact we are still classified as a type of ape.
