400 years is no where near enough time and you are ignoring the lack of genetic isolation. If traits developed making reproduction unlikely or impossible, then yes a new species could have developed.
Speciation has been produced in a lab on organisms that reproduce frequently such as fruit flies and bacteria. Not humans. If you could manage 10,000 generations of humans with directed selection in a lab, why do you think you would not see speciation? The exact same mechanism would apply.
It's not as though human genetics are a special case and different from fruit flies.
