Best Answer

Speciation is the evolutionary process by which new biological species arise. The biologist Orator F. Cook seems to have been the first to coin the term 'speciation' for the splitting of lineages. Whether genetic drift is a minor or major contributor to speciation is the subject matter of much ongoing discussion. The process of speciation is often hastened when two formerly isolated groups are reunited.
