I’m working on something at the moment where we saw a massive change after only 48 hours.
The speed of evolution depends on two things: how quickly new mutations appear in the DNA, and how big a change the mutation will cause (in other words, if the mutation is REALLY important for survival, or just a bit useful). If mutations happen a lot (like in bacteria) and the mutation it vital for the thing to survive (or grow), then you would expect to see things happen very quickly!
