Old sci fi story. Trying for years about a ship that arrives on an alien planet and watches evolution from bacteria to findwhatever comes after man

I've been trying to remember a short story which I read in the 1980s in a sci-fi anthology.

I recall a ship arriving at an alien planet and watching as evolution from bacteria to fish, reptile, mammal, human, and so on, took...took only a couple of days. If I remember correctly, it ended with the creature that evolved after man. Does this ring a bell to anyone?
