| A species is typically made up of many
different populations, and each population is evolving
through processes like natural selection. Sometimes,
a population can evolve and become so distinct from
other populations of its species, that it becomes a
new species.
The conditions that promote the evolution of new species
fall into several patterns, like geographic separation.
