| − | '''Speciation''' one suggested process by which new species are thought to arise, possibly by [[Darwin-Wallace evolution]]. It occurs due to [[natural selection]] and separation of populations of the same species, allowing allele frequencies in the two groups to change independently. See [[evolution]] for a detailed dissection of the many problems of this theory. | + | '''Speciation''' one process by which new species are thought to arise, possibly by [[Darwin-Wallace evolution]].
