Not a sudden change like magician's trick. Just slow change over the centuries. The difference between 10,000 years ago and today is small, but much bigger then the difference between 10,001 years ago and 9,999 years ago.

Evolution did not suddenly stop 10k years ago and it has still not stopped, although evolution of humans appears to have slowed down sometime between the first appearance of homo sapiens and the beginning of civilization. Slowed down doesn't mean stopped.

I think the most revolutionary changes in human culture and technology, in ideas and education and life style, happened in relatively recent times, but the most revolutionary changes in human's physical bodies and base mental ability happened a long time ago.
