Speciation is the evolutionary process through which new biological species arise. It occurs when populations of a species become isolated from each other, leading to genetic divergence due to factors such as natural selection, genetic drift, or mutation. Over time, these changes can result in reproductive isolation, preventing interbreeding even if the populations come back into contact. This process can be driven by geographic barriers, behavioral differences, or ecological factors.
