A new species can form through a process called speciation, which often occurs when populations of the same species become isolated from each other due to geographic barriers, such as mountains or rivers. Over time, these populations may undergo genetic changes and adaptations to their specific environments, leading to reproductive isolation. If the differences become significant enough, the populations can no longer interbreed, resulting in the emergence of a new species. Other factors, such as sexual selection or changes in ecological niches, can also contribute to the formation of new species.

What is one way species form?

Geographic isolation is a way in which a new species can form. Isolation over a long enough period of time can result in a species evolving to have different traits.

What is the most common way that new species form?

The most common way new species form is through a process called allopatric speciation, where populations of a single species become geographically isolated from each other. This isolation prevents gene flow, allowing each population to evolve independently due to natural selection, genetic drift, and mutations. Over time, these evolutionary changes can accumulate to the point where the populations become distinct species. Other mechanisms, such as sympatric speciation, can also occur, but allopatric speciation is the most widely observed.

What is the main way that a new species form?

By the theory of evolution, new species form through the process of natural selection. This process most often starts with a random mutation in the genome (a random gene suddenly changes or becomes a "mutation"). This mutation either helps, or hinders the new animal (or mutant if you will hehe). If it helps them survive better than the older species, then this new mutant species will become more abundant. If not, than the new species will die off. This process does not happen all at once though, it usually takes a generous amount of mutations and thousands of years for this to happen.
