What Is A Species?

The video explores the concept of species, starting with Carl Linnaeus's classification system. It defines a species as a group of organisms that can produce fertile offspring, using horses and donkeys as examples. The process of speciation, where new species emerge from existing ones through natural selection, is discussed with examples like the apple maggot fly. Human activities, such as selective breeding, can also influence speciation, as seen in the development of domestic sheep. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to explore other examples of speciation.
