If you have a species from which a new species is produces, how is it that that new species is produces such that it cannot breed with the parent species? We can say that a new species arises and that interbreeding is possible, but eventually you merge species, or the species weren't all that distinct to begin with. But how can a new species arise where interbreeding is impossible? if one member were to change so drastically into a new species such that he couldn't breed, then another would have to change in just the same way to allow for mating. geographical separation doesn't explain anything because there has to be a moment when changes, which are reflected in an individual not in a species as a whole, has to occur in the separated population. How can the geographically separate populace drift together such that they are no longer able to breed and yet able to breed with one another? There must be a distinct moment in time when this happens because changes occur in new members.
