In a magical landscape I suspect that lots of cataclysmic events and weird morphology will cause a whole lot more mutations to occur over a much shorter period - so much quicker evolution...Personally I adopt the creation view of Kinds - that is every KIND of animal is divinely created but then gets modified under enviromental pressure (eg Tigers, Lions and Leopards are the same KIND of animal but have modified under enviromental pressure). In my world then the divine ancestors of humanoids gave birth to seven children "who were well formed but without detail or purpose". These seven were then given to each of the 'creator gods' "who gave them shape and purpose according to their need"Other subspecies were then descended from these original seven.</blockquote>
