To put it simply, new species can form when organisms within a population become so genetically different they can no longer reproduce with one another without generating harmful mutations.

This can be caused by genetic drift and geographic isolation. Two populations of the same species who live in different parts of the world will diverge and go on separate genetic paths, until eventually the two populations become genetically different and branch off into two different species.
