Divergent evolution describes the accumulation of distinct traits that can lead to speciation events. A large population consists of a single ancestor species. Over time, different groups of the population come to inhabit different niches and develop traits for specialized inhabitance of that niche. As these changes accumulate, the population slowly develops distinct groups. When these groups can no longer reproduce due to some sexual barrier, a speciation event has occurred. This process aligns with the theory of evolution for Darwin's finches.
