True ...
But this isnt purely biological matter ... is it?
There were some tribes that alterned shape of their skulls for ritualistic purposes ... sizes, shapes and positions of different parts of our faces (nose, eyes, ears, lips, etc.) would be quite different.

And even if it would be matter of biology ... you are forgeting about single important thing!
We, Humans on our planet, are the only "intelligent species" (i know, its questionable statement, but lets put that aside for now) ... we cant crossbreed with anyone else.
Elves in Dragon Age are compatible with Humans (and as it is in most Fantasy worlds), their descendants are capable of futher reproduction.
Meaning old elves could have hypoteticaly look a lot more like Solas ...
And i would even say that they do:

But today elves, dont have so "pure" blood ... i mean, 4000 years its long time ... and nobody would know how much human blood was added to your lineage during that time. wink

Also ...
There are some theories around the internet that first Elves in Dragon Age were actually just spirits, who materialized physical body.
Just as Cole from Inquisition did ... or that Templar leader, who was actually a demon ... or like, well, basicaly every demon you meet in physical world there. laugh
So, maybe he just picked this shape of head. laugh

This is quite common missinterpretation. smile
Sadly its not even close to how things works ...

Have you heard about Spanish Flu for example?
People didnt get immune, virus mutated to "less fatal" version of itself ... basicaly we got lucky. :-/

So they claim ...
I dont really want to get into conspirations (but believe me, i have read some serious laugh ) ... but i just have to say that every game is "in development" until studio states otherwise ... even if nobody touch it for last two years, officialy it would still be "in development". frown
