I'm not arguing against evolution here, but this seems kind of far fetched. Wouldn't slight mutation account for this, and not evolution?
Mutation is but one cause of evolution. Whether by mutation or any other cause if changes occur it is evolution.

My understanding is that evolution is:
a:Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, as a result of natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, and resulting in the development of new species.
b:The historical development of a related group of organisms; phylogeny.
Why would a change of eye color, hair color, etc qualify as evolution, especially when it could simply not be a dominent trait in the next generation, and fail to appear again?
