Most everyone agrees in short term evolution, however if a population is split into two groups and they continue to have small term evolution whats to stop them from turning into seperate species?

The mechanics and theory work.

So why is it still questioned?


:idea: It actually is possible for populations to split into two separate groups and eventually (after an extended time of "small term" evolution) become two different species. This can be seen just by looking at the only two species of camels. The Dromedary camel (with one hump) is native to dry dessert areas in West Asian and The Bactrian Camel (with 2 humps) is native to colder, snowier regions in Eastern Asia. Both species of camel come from the continent of Asia. This indicates that they both came from the same ancestor. One species of camel spread out amongst the continent of Asia, and they both came adapted to their unique environments. And now, they are separate species.

Speciation is not something anyone really objects to.

But don't you see that speciation leads to evolution? We can see this small term speciation over the course of just a few thousand years. Now change that to 4.2 billion years and you have enough speciation to create such unique looking animals and plants.
