What do your Elven eyes see?

A tad off-topic, but I'll answer you anyway. I believe that Feanor was born in the year 1173 of the Years of the Trees and the Silmarils in the year 1450.

As for the topic itself, I would expect such, what with evolution and al such. But perhaps that may be proof of otherwise. The elves were a race that seemed very firmly set with what they were (save for the cases of the Halfelven), meaning that their own forms were set-in-stone, barely changable over the course of years and events. Men however, were shorter living and changed easily. It was a chain of balances set by Eru. He made Men short-living but flexible in the ever-changing world. While the elves had longevity and did not shift so easily. however, it is quite possible that they already posessed such sight upon awakening...
