In terms of evolution a 50,000 or 100,000 years is a blink of an eye. The change cannot be explained by that.

1. That is if you believe in linear evolution, a perfect route to extinction, time after time after time. Punctuated equilibrium is much more likely.
2. Homo sapiens sapiens has been around for only about 50,000, if that.

There are 50 new species developed in brine shrimp at Pt. Mugu lagoon. The lagoon was excavated only 60 years ago. Evolution can occur very rapidly when there is an open niche.
