The evolution of one species into another has been observed. One example is the finches that Darwin observed on the Galapagos Islands, which when observed many years later, evolved (or split) into a new species.
As I understand it different species are separated by the fact that they cannot breed with each other. Well if that's true, common sense should tells us that speciation is impossible. If one species can never interbreed with another, and if one species only ever produces the same, then how do new species come into existence?
I'm assuming that it would require a lot of mutation. But still, I can't figure out or understand the full demonstration of how it actually happens. Can someone draw me an elaborate picture or point me to a resource that will show me how it works?
