 I agree with Bruce Johnson - without intervention 1000 years
 isn't long enough. 50-60 human generations with
 pessimistic mutation rates far in excess of the ~70 per
 generation average[1] won't cut it.

 With regard to the beginning of this thread - the only way I
 can reconcile the concept of a carbon-silicone biochemical
 transition is something like this:

 Some rare worlds have two biochemistries develop in
 parallel, rather than one type filling all available niches
 early in a world's history.

 So the silicone-based life interacts sporadically with the
 carbon-based stuff e.g. silicone stuff is based underground,
 and quakes or volcanism allow contact with surface or ocean
 dwelling carbon-based life.

 The real evolutionary action is evident at the level of
 micro-organisms - both in diversity and speed.

 Multicellular life forms either develop symbiotic
 relationships, or die off from crippling autoimmune
 complications as a host tries to eject an intruder...
