Diversity through extrapolation of
microevolutionary mechanisms
GroupingsPopulation
Local group of orgs of one species
GroupingsSpecies
Populations of orgs that may interbreed to produce fertile offspring
Isolation of Subpopulations
Mechanisms of evolution cause isolated subpopulations to diverge
Geographic IsolationPopulations are physically separated
GeographicIsolationNatural selection, mutations, and gene flow occur independently in isolated populations

Evidence of Evolution
Fossil RecordExtant species are not the only ones to have existed on Earth
Fossil RecordSome fossils indicate missing links between extant groups
