I suspect that isolated populations may take a considerable period of time before breeding becomes completely impossible.

It's really up to the evolution critics to propose some mechanism that prevents two isolate populations from becoming reproductively isolated, as with horses and donkeys.

It is also part of the unfinished business of evolution to explain why some lines, like dogs, have more variability than others. It's an interesting problem.

Not evolution at work but human intervention, which is hardly accidental.
