Speciation, the formation of new and distinct species in the course of evolution. Speciation involves the splitting of a single evolutionary lineage into two or more genetically independent lineages.
When a species undergoes an evolutionary change that leads to the creation of a new species, it is called speciation. Speciation has given rise to the diversity of species present on Earth. We discussed that for speciation to occur, individuals of a population need to be reproductively isolated from one and another.
