You can’t say that Homo Sapiens have not changed in the last 50,000 years (roughly 2,000 generations) but then the first Homo Sapien was so different from his or her parents (a single generation) that he or she would be classified as something completely different. Your theory doesn’t hold up to the evidence.
Chances are some egg and or sperm will suffer mutations as well. These 'mutated' genes will carry on and when they match up through generations, the changes in physiology may be good, bad or indifferent. Bad will stop. Good will go on. Indifferent could go either way.
If everyone had brown eyes, then some where along the line a mutation occurred favoring blue eyes, this gene could be carried for generations before anyone actually got blue eyes. Blue eyes are recessive which means that the child must inherit the blue eyed gene from both parents.
Considering the number of mutations that occur in one human's lifetime, extrapolate over thousands of years and we have change. When? somewhere between here and there. There is no line to draw.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
