Summary Introduction
To review:
The definition of species and types of observation researchers analyze when trying to identify the species.
Introduction:
The large scale vision of evolution is due to the formation of new species. The process of aggregation of changes that are heritable in one or other characters of a population inheriting from one generation to the other is known as evolution. The evolution of all living organisms took place via some common ancestors of the interrelated groups, hence, evolution merges organisms together.
