Jonathan is correct that "one" refers to "divergence."
In terms of the actual content here, yes evolution occurs over time, but divergence refers to the general timeframe during which the scientists have established that a separate breeding population emerged. "Approximately 4,000 years ago" fits that kind of description.
Hi Stacey,
I have a doubt.
If "one" referes to divergence,
"one that scarcely seems sufficient " can be re-read as "divergence that scarcely seems sufficient". Is this correct?. Its "time period" that "scarcely seems sufficient" and not "divergence".
this works okay with "divergence" as well. the concept of the time period is actually subsumed within the concept of divergence, so we're fine here.
