I think you somehow managed to miss how evolution actually works. Youve got some weird view that humans hit a plateau evolution wise in your head. Evolution is a process that can be fast or slow For instance picking up a population and dropping them onto a world with half the gravity, different food supplies, different general climate, different levels of solar radiation etc Every feature listed and more will cause a genetic drift from whatever population of base line Earth humans was used.
The organisms with the best traits for the environment will live longer in greater numbers and out breed the ones not suited. Immunities to diseases will disappear if the disease simply doesnt exist on that world, new ones for local diseases will take their place. The same thing will happen to digestive enzymes and skin tones. More sun? Dark skin. Less sun lighter skin. Long periods without food? More body fat. Millennia of effectively infinite food? Fast metabolism no long range storage medium. Constant cold weather? Layers of fat or fur. Hot weather? Thinner fur or little hair at all. These are relatively minor changes minus the fat or no fat issue.
More changes happen in the case of the halving of gravity. For instance bone density will change with gravity. A heavier frame will be slower for the same area as the higher gravity muscle thins out, which will take a few months. The lighter ones will run faster and get more food/escape more predators, than their heavier counter parts. A heart beating at the same rate and strength as it would in a higher gravity environment will wear itself and the body out faster, as its putting more strain on the bodies systems. Different levels of solar radiation and soil toxins will cause changes as die off and breeding of new generations occurs. Recessive genes go dominant and dominant recessive. A few local bacteria damage their genetics.
Less gravity means that the organisms present will adapt so that they have different structures. Having half the gravity will means that bones can be less dense so that light frames per size exist. A heart that is use to functioning in a higher gravity will find that the body is a bit larger that it is in the lower gravity. As a side effect the heart will beat to hard and blood pressure will increase the body will adapt a bit, however in one generation. The ones with hearts better adapted
Then you have things like: What if there is no flint available? That will mean more animal/plant parts are used in their development or maybe they concentrated on doing things with sheer force of will as the tools arent as available. What if the planet they ended up on had only one land mass? More moons or no moon? No tides altered bio-chemistry, different day night cycles. Heat on the planet solely from the star it orbits and no molten core? Magnetic North wont move around if it exists. The sky green or red tinted? Different eye structures.
Also, how many humans got transplanted and from were did the before race steal the land previously in the Gulf of Mexico and put it in a giant ship and steal it?
Humans and chimps have a difference of around 1.2 percent. It take very little percentage change to make two races into separate species. These little things add up over time. The organism changing their genetics on purpose isnt going to help either. Its just not going to matter if the just swipped half of the same tribe over and over again.
The Roman Age had comparable hospital facilities to today in many cases. They did successful eye surgery that take major precision work. The biggest technological difference between the Roman Empire and today is material science. Today has far more. The internal combustion engine comes second.

Quote:Thats not true the machine just got powered by slaves and animals. And I recall seeing the Romans had lead/acid pottery batteries cant remember if they figured out why though. The Greeks had temple doors that only opened when the correct weight of sacrifice was on them. The whole barbarians take out Rome thing had more effect. The knowledge written down ended up in the hands of priests and the like or just elites for so long. The recent idea of giving the common man a shot at inventing things and educating the unwashed masses is the reason the curve spikes in the past 2-3 hundred years. The Renaissance was helpful for setting the basics its the whole centuries of knowledge hoarding called the Dark Ages that messed things up.
Well, the real problem would be that the attitude of pretty much everybody with any learning was, 'why build machines when you've got slaves', so a tremendous amount of time was wasted both before and after.
