im guessing you missed out on the swine flue then a small mutation in a virus alowed it to jump from swine to man. if you look a little back in human history you would see that ppl living in africa gained alot more melanine to protect them from the suns rays, and ppl arround the north pole lost alot of it because they dint need as much. (im not trying to be racial here im just proving apoint abbout mutation). and dont forget ponies you can start making your own breed take a few small horses and breed them then take the the smallest ofspring and breed them continue on till you get a hors the sisze of a fox.
in nature it goes a bit slower but it still goes if let say a bear is born whit a property that gives him an edge over other bears it is reasnoble to asume he will do better in life have more baybies and live longer some of his ofspring will also have his traits and do better than other bears offspring and in time when enough mutations have accured this new bare species wil not be able to mate whit the earlier vareiety of bares and produce a healthy offspring at that time whe have a new species and if its trtaits make it alot better than the old variety they vill probably outcompeate the old one and make it go exstinct.
sorry abbout the spelling english is my 3d language.

first of all only 50 000 generations where ever tested. but lets skip bacteria lets go to dogs
these are new dog subspecies, bred by selective breeeding witch is evolution on a fasttrack the only diference is that their new traits do not help them in the wild but they help them to get baught or to help their owners.
American Hairless Terrier (1972)
Australian bulldog (1990s)
Black Russian Terrier (Russia, 1940s)
Czechoslovakian Wolf-dog (1950s)
Dorset Olde Tyme Bulldogge (1980s)
Olde English Bulldogge (1971)
Kunming dog (US, 1950s)
Kyi Leo (1940)
Lupo italiano (Italy, 1966)
Mi-ki
Moscow Toy Terrier (Russia, 1960s)
Shiloh Shepherd (US, 1960)
Silken Windhound (US, 1990s)
Silken Windsprite (US, 1980s)
Tamaskan dog (1990s)
and some mice on thieir own
A small handful of European mice deposited on the island of Madeira some 600 years ago have now evolved into at least six different species. The island is very rocky and the mice became isolated into different niches. The original species had 40 chromosomes, but the new populations have anywhere between 22-30 chromosomes. They haven't lost DNA, but rather, some chromosomes have fused together over time and so the mice can now only breed with others with the same number of chromosomes, making each group a separate species
A remarkable example is the London Underground mosquito. It is believed to have evolved from an above-ground species which moved into tunnels being excavated to construct the London underground rail system in the 1850s. Today the underground mosquito's aggressive bite gives commuters hell, while the above-ground species only feeds off birds. The two species can no longer interbreed and have become separate in just 150 years.

rofl well if a gen changes in a dna strand its called mutation. or you can go back to the bible and think to yourself god willed that gen to change. and il say well my god willed a undetectable pink unicorn into being that unicorn then crated your god who created everything then willed that gen to change.
