“People really weren’t thinking about evolution at all,” says David Skelly, a professor of ecology at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. “They thought it happened on thousand-year time scales.”

That’s not quite accurate, bacteria evolve in years (if not hours), and every high school biology class talks about the moths turning from white to grey or black or something due to the coal plant pollution in England, over a period of a couple of years.
