It's literally what evolution is. Each generation of organism is different from the next. There isn't some break-point where changes ceased, it's been continuous since the life began, i.e. a continuum.
> They have different attributes for many reasons that have nothing to do with evolution (and are not hereditary). And any real evolutionary changes are so small that they practically don't exist.
The reason is literally evolution. They are different in small (or large) ways, because every generation is different. If they survive and pass part of their genes along to the next generation, their offspring will be different as well.
> It's not conjecture; it's based on evidence: I can't cite the exact science off the top of my head, but humans have been biologically the same for around 200,000 years.
But they haven't been biologically the same. They have changed in each generation of offspring. There wasn't some magic point 200,000 or so years ago when humans stopped evolving. We are still evolving today, every time a new child is born.
I have a feeling you don't actually understand evolution.
