About this video

Help us make well-researched science videos at https://patreon.com/MinuteEarth We want to tell important stories about our natural world, but some ideas that seem great initially end up being way too big to cover in a short video. LEARN MORE ************** To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords: - Species concept: A methodology for determining whether two organisms are members of the same species. - Speciation: The evolutionary process by which new species arise. - Polyploid speciation: Speciation that occurs due to a change in the number of chromosomes. - Allopatric speciation: Speciation that occurs due to geographic isolation.
