Hybridization can lead to speciation from "summary" of The Origin of Species (Deluxe Library Binding) (Annotated) by Charles Darwin
Hybridization, the interbreeding of different species, can sometimes result in the formation of a new species. When two different species mate and produce offspring, the genetic material from each species combines, leading to a hybrid with a unique set of traits. These hybrids may possess characteristics that are advantageous in their particular environment, giving them a competitive edge over individuals of either parent species. Over time, this can lead to the establishment of a distinct population that is reproductively isolated from the parent species.
This process of hybridization and subsequent speciation is known as hybrid speciation. It is an important mechanism by which new species can arise, particularly in cases where barriers to reproduction between two s...
