And rapid changes (relatively speaking) have never happened?

No, there have been cases of fairly rapid change. The change from the ice age until now is relatively rapid. It's just that wild rapid changes are not the norm, they are the result of something exceptional. For example:

The recent massive industrialization of the Earth is also an exceptional event and may lead to rapid change in climate.
