The Strongest Evidence That Evolution Occurred - Ring Species

A Ring species is where two populations look like entirely detach species at one location, but follow whether of these species colse to in a circle on the globe and you will find the individuals look more and more like the other species, until they come to be the other species when you get back to the same starting point.

There is no single point in the Ring when one species turns into the other. An example is herRing gulls and black backed gulls. In Britain these two species live side by side and never interbreed. But follow the population of herRing gulls in a circle colse to via the North Pole, North America, Alaska, Siberia and back to Britain and you will see that they gently look more and more like the black backed gull. They finally blend in entirely with the black backed gulls in Britain. It may be that all species are in fact ring species, but in most instances the 'intermediates' have died out. Someone else example of a living ring species is a type of colorful salamander called Ensatina.

The view of a ring species is one of the strongest pieces of evidence out there that suggests evolution did for real occur. It demonstrates how it is inherent for one species to gently transform from one to another. The view of gradual changes construction up over large time frames to form a new species is the essence of Darwin's theory. Ring species also show that it is impossible to put every organism in a discreet species box. In some ways life on Earth is a continuum with each species blending into the other.

Does this idea extend to humans as well? I believe the sass is yes and no. In some ways we are just like the other life-forms on this planet, in other ways we are profoundly different.
