From what I gather, the core concept of the evolution which is speciation has not been demonstrated to be caused by natural selection. Everything I've read about so far is merely demonstrating adaptation of the species as opposed to a new species emerging.
- azakai 10y agoThere isn't much debate on this anymore in biology - practically every important evolutionary biologist accepts that speciation is driven by natural selection. Of course other factors matter too, like goegraphic separation, and so forth; they can provide an opportunity for natural selection to drive changes between groups, that when they grow large enough become a difference in species. But it is natural selection that creates those differences. There is a small minority that think otherwise.
- Oletros 10y agoCan you give us some sources for your claim that speciation has not been demostrated to be caused by natural selection? > I've read about so far is merely demonstrating adaptation of the species as opposed to a new species emergin You seem to not understand what natural selection, spceciation or evolution are

If you're claiming that it has, the burden of proof is on you. That's how arguments work. >> You seem to not understand what natural selection, spceciation or evolution are I'm all ears.
