How do you quantify "sooner" on an evolutionary time scale?

I'm not sure I understand the issue. The same way you quantify 'shorter' on a height scale. Sooner isn't a quantity, it's just a direction.

I'm saying within the lifetime of a species I'm not sure it's fair to say it's taken us a long time. It could have taken way longer.
