Evolution takes time because, by definition, evolution is a pattern retained over generations. Nor can an entire species evolve to become two concurrent species because a species is defined by an ability to interbreed. For the process of evolution ... natural forces operating in the snowy east compared to the mild west (remember, it's my imagination), what's likely to happen?
