"natural selection/evolution don't provide much pressure for a species to change after it's gotten wildly successful"

Define "wildly successful". Humans have clearly changed overtime. Look at the color of skin relative to geography. The closer to the equator you get the darker people get. That's natural selection. Another example is sickle cell and malaria. Natural selection in action!

Look at modern domesticated dogs. They've all evolved from wolves in a fairly short time frame.
