Ok, just did a rewatch. Here are the main points the teacher lady touched on:
1. Abbies are the result of a series of genetic mutations.
2. They evolved in a harsh environment.
3. Their DNA is only a half percent different from our.
4. Humans didn't become abbies overnight. "It took a long time, a very long time."
5. The quarters from 2095 is the last known relics from human civilization.
6. Civilization died out almost 2000 years ago.
So if the abbies evolution involved a series of mutations, was in a harsh environment, and took a very long time to happen, where were they evolving at? 80 years (from the original time of the people in Wayward Pines, to the fall of civilization) really isn't a long time when you are talking about evolution and genetic mutations. So I would think they were around some time before the project was started, or at least before 2015 when they started collecting people. They would have had to have been somewhere isolated in order to be able to evolve where no one would notice them, and it was apparently in a harsh environment.
Something seems off with the timeline in relation to the time it would have taken the abbies to evolve. Now I really think they were artificially created, and let loose on civilization. Or something else is actually going on.

My thoughts, point by point:
1. Abbies are the result of a series of genetic mutations.
Sure... caused in a lab somewhere.
2. They evolved in a harsh environment.
Well, if in a cage somewhere in 2014 can be considered harsh.
3. Their DNA is only a half percent different from our.
Did they volunteer for that, or were they captured liked Ethan was?
4. Humans didn't become abbies overnight. "It took a long time, a very long time."
A lie.
5. The quarters from 2095 is the last known relics from human civilization.
They're as counterfeit as the rest of the money people are using as currency in Wayward Pines. And, oh, by the way, why are people having to buy groceries but get their houses free?

To me it seems that the mutation was due to climate change and the earth rejecting the human species by creating a mutation that devolved our species into a state that allows for the regeneration of earth.. The doc figured out what was happening and convinced the government to create wayward pines as a reboot for the species.
