The ring species concept is analogous to Africans and Eskimos meeting up and each not wanting to live where and in the manner the other does. No one suggests they are of a different species.

There have been pro evolution freepers who have loudly declared that ring species show that one species can evolve in the wild into "totally different" species.

I place no stock in such claims. But some folks think the concept validates their belief system.
