Generaly its the person who discovers the new species that gets to name it. Often they will choose a name that sums up the biological characteristics of the species, in order to make it sound as logical as possible. If the Biology is'nt really understood then they could call it what ever they like in really. Kind of like when astronemers find a new star and name it after someone.
If the species is scientifically proven to be new or undiscovered, then the person who discovered it gains the right to name the new species. The scientists who study the species decide to add it to the new species list.
Yes, evolutionary theory explains how new species emerge from existing species.
once they can no longer breed and produce a fertile offspring with the other group they become a separate species
Alopatric speciation.
I'm thinking the person who discovers it.
Speciation is the evolutionary process by which new biological species arise.
Some major claims in "The Origin of Species" include: the concept of natural selection as the mechanism for evolution, the idea of common ancestry among species, and realization that biological diversity arises from gradual change over time. These ideas were new and surprising at the time of publication, challenging prevailing beliefs about the fixity of species and the origins of biological diversity.
A child does not have to have the same last name as the biological father to receive child support from that father.
According to the biological species concept, when the new species no longer can interbreed with the ancestral species, or with the population that it has been geographically isolated from long enough to have allele change significantly enough to prevent interbreeding.
Evolution doesn't work like that. Since evolution is an ongoing, continuous mechanism, every species that we see is the 'newest' species in its particular line
