How is speciation different from evolution? Which is more common? Why?100 words or more please
Solution
Since speciation clearly involves development from one species it is more common to observe.Speciation is a subset of evolution.
In speciation a species evolves bases on the topography and climate of the region they live and adapting to the specific environment. Like the lions have adapted themselves for the grasslands and desert and Tigers have adapted themselves for topography consisting of dense forests.
While evolution is a more broader term which involves development of characteristics that help a living creature survive in the environment they are in. It is purely based on the selective development of a species. For example how Tigers have developed stripes that help them camouflage themselves in jungles.

| Speciation is the evolution of reproductive isolation among once interbreeding population. In other words it is development of one or more species from an existing species | Evolution is the sequence of gradual changes which takes place in an organism over millions of years and new species are produced. |
