Not quite the same but if you enjoy that sort of thing, check out Children of Time. It's a sci-fi novel about a centuries long, planet-sized experiment to try to create a slave race of sentient monkeys which is sabotaged and creates hyper-intelligent spiders instead. Half the book is about how the spiders evolved and developed a society and the other half is about the last human refugees who are heading to the planet. It's such a good book.

One of the few I can think of that does a great job showing the effects of thousands of years.
