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.
Many species become classified as endangered species when they are dying out.
Endangered ecosystems are referred to as threatened ecosystems. This can happen when the balance between the different species within an ecosystem is disrupted, leading to a decline in the population of certain species. This imbalance can be caused by factors such as habitat destruction, pollution, climate change, and overexploitation.
They would become 2 separate species.
Extinction. When a species fails to adapt, it dies out.
Foxes, jackals, and wolves belong to three different genera within the Canidae family. They have distinct physical characteristics, behaviors, and ecological roles, which have evolved based on their different environments and prey preferences. Despite sharing a common ancestor, they have diverged over time to become separate species.
yes they did
Ring species provide evidence for evolution and speciation by demonstrating how populations can gradually evolve and diverge from a common ancestor over time. In a ring species, neighboring populations can interbreed, but as they spread out and encounter different environments, they may become reproductively isolated and eventually form distinct species. This process illustrates how new species can arise through gradual changes and adaptation to different environments, supporting the theory of evolution.
Cats have a common ancestor called Proailurus, which lived around 25 million years ago. Over time, different species of cats evolved, such as the saber-toothed cats and the modern domestic cat. These evolutionary changes allowed cats to adapt to various environments and become successful predators.
Speciation is the process by which new species arise from a common ancestor. This can happen through various mechanisms such as geographic isolation, genetic mutations, and natural selection. Over time, different populations may accumulate enough genetic differences to become reproductively isolated and develop into distinct species.
Millions of years of evolution
Humans did not evolve from chimpanzees, rather both humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor. A division happened with this common ancestor....some went on to become chimpanzees and some went on to become modern humans. There are common ancestors to both humans and chimps, but they are long extinct.
This question demonstrates a misunderstanding of the evolutionary process. Mankind does not exist as a separate entity from apes, but in fact we are a species of ape ourselves. The reason why there are different species of extant apes is that we all share a common ancestor. Overtime we diverged from that common ancestor into separate groups. Once these groups became separated from each other, they continued to adapt to their persepctive environment. That is how new species form; as they adapt the species begin to become so different from the other group, that they can no longer mate. For the second question, we are still evolving, however the process of evolution takes thousands of years to produce the amount of change that you are alluding to.
The fossil record shows that different species have evolved over time. The fossil record also provides evidence of how a specific organism evolved from earlier species. The fossil record shows that organisms have become more complex over time. It also shows which organisms lived during the same time period, which have a common ancestor, and which have become extinct.
They become more and more different over time.
Divergent evolution
No. Simply put, it is biologically impossible to transform into a different species.
