What doesn't seem to stick here, is that the Falmer didn't even "evolve". If Evolution is even a force in the magical world of Nirn, it doesn't even work the exact same way as it does in real-life. -_-

The Falmer were rather forcably changed by the Dwemer, and it is doubtfully because of toxic mushrooms alone. Still, the Falmer people's change to the "Betrayed" was NOT something that happened slowly over time (like evolution)...it happened rather quickly (almost immediately).
