As has been mentioned already, that takes millions of years. Recorded (scientific) history has been what, 200? 250? There is no possible way that could be recorded. But luckily we have fossils, geological layers, carbon dating, etc.
And as was just mentioned, the evolutional cycle of the dog has been changed with help from humans. Quite distinctly. Same with many plants. Look at the banana. As close as different species as you could do in such a short time.
Look at it this way, 1000 years is 1% of 1,000,000 years! So less than one thousand years is even less than hundreds of millions or billions of years!
If we could do that in a couple hundred years, imagine what could be done in a billion. We've had a percent, of a percent of perhaps another percent.
I think your having a hard time imagining millions and billions of years.
