Yes, and of all of these “speciation events,” which have resulted in new species? Answer: None, unless you define “new species” as a fruit fly that is slightly different than other fruit flies.

A species is a population that cannot produce fertile offspring with another population. A number of new species have been created in the lab, populations which are reproductively isolated from their parent populations.

"A species is a population that cannot produce fertile offspring with another population. A number of new species have been created in the lab, populations which are reproductively isolated from their parent populations."


If 2 humans, 1 man and 1 woman, are unable to have a child, does that mean that 1 of them is a difference specie and is not entitled to due process?

There is after all, a certain [percentage] population of humans that are unable to reproduce....

What about ring species, is it one specie, or two.
