How did it evolve if its genome didn't change?

they studied are instances in which animals with the same genetic makeup can produce quite different traits, or phenotypes, in different environments.

While biologists have understood the basic machinery underlying polyphenisms, the mystery remained how such complex traits, which involve mutations in multiple genes, could evolve and persist.

Transfers of chuncks of genes is currently being worked on extensively. See my posting of excerpts from the book "Darwin's Ghost: The Origin of Species Updated" by Steve Jones, 2000. It is #21 at "Unlocking cell secrets bolsters evolutionists", which was posted on FR about an hour ago.

You're misreading the passage, although admittedly it's not as clear as it could be. It's not saying that the evolved versions had the "same genetic makeup" as the originals, it's saying that the evolved version was situationally able to produce two different traits out of the same (new) genetic code.

Congratulations, Duke--you've done a fair imitation of breeding out for type. You can take your place among the successful livestock developers in the past several millenia. (But it would be in good taste not to crowd them. After all, these dairymen did us a great service. What'd you do?)

Who would have thought that the dairymen of Jersey and Guernsey, who bred the tiny little dun-colored cows with the deliciously high butterfat content (and sweet little faces), were actually "scientists"?!

One thing though--our best ice cream (Bluebell) is made from the cream from these little cows. But what will Duke have to show for their efforts except outlandish, misleading, claims?
