What we know now that Darwin didn’t More than 99% of all species that have ever lived are now extinct. New species formed to take their place. HOW??? Speciation- What drives this ‘speciation’? ISOLATING MECHANISMS • Behavioral• Geographical• Temporal- For evolution to take place, something must upset the genetic equilibrium of a population. Hardy- Weinberg Principle The frequency of alleles in a population will remain constant unless one or more factors cause those frequencies to change. In other words… Five conditions required for equilibrium1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
