To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords:
- Speciation: The formation of new and distinct species.
- Sympatric speciation: The evolution of new species from ancestral species while both continue to inhabit the same geographic region.
- Allopatric speciation: Speciation that occurs when a population becomes separated by a geographic barrier.
- Adaptive radiation: The diversification of a group of organisms into forms filling different ecological niches.
