Gene Flow

Gene flow tends to reduce differences between populations. If it is extensive enough, gene flow can amalgamate neighboring populations into a single population with a common gene pool.

Gene flow, or the transfer of genes between populations through individuals mating with individuals from another population, helps to keep neighboring populations genetically similar. This process can prevent genetic differentiation and maintain a shared gene pool within a geographic region.

Where do new species come from?

Generally when a species splits into two populations that are separated by some means that keeps the now individual gen pools from intermingling. This allows new alleles to arise in the separate populations and as time passes this frequency changes in alleles can give rise to new species.
