Study Catches Birds Splitting Into Separate Species 153
webdoodle writes "A new study finds that a change in a single gene has sent two closely related bird populations on their way to becoming two distinct species. The study, published in the August issue of the American Naturalist, is one of only a few to investigate the specific genetic changes that drive two populations toward speciation."

No. Obviously the birds sinned,and THAT'S what caused the need for the separation in species. That leaves one good, and the other sinful.

Actually, I prayed the day would come where we observe speciation. Wait a sec. Damn, he does exist. I guess it's back to offering virgin sacrifices to the great lord Zuthulu.

These birds CAN produce offspring, but behaviorally, don't.
So, you're saying it's like computer geeks and supermodels?
