I have a two questions about evolution. Please understand that I am trying to understand the theory of evolution--not disprove it (Believe me, I know I don't have the knowledge to even begin to attempt that). I hope I can even explain my questions right.
First, have we ever seen a new species occur in nature? If so, what was/is it?
Second, if a species is defined as a group of animals that can reproduce fertile offspring, who does the first one of a new species reproduce with so that the species can continue? There must be some cutoff point where one female gives birth to offspring that is a different species. If that is the case, it would not be able to reproduce with any of it's predecessors. Or could it?
