I'll grant that this example is more compelling than any others provided. The fact that they needed to redefine "species" to find the first example of speciation in the wild is certainly a weak point. What's interesting with this example is that the changes come from hybridization, not the typically stated evolution mechanism of "tiny random little changes that somehow overtime make brains". Accordingly, this provides no "origin of life" answers, as the life was only able to develop from hybridizing existing life.
