Speciation in Living Hominoid Primates

  • Chapter
Book cover Species, Species Concepts and Primate Evolution

Part of the book series: Advances in Primatology ((AIPR))

Abstract

The most widely discussed review of models of speciation in animals (White, 1978) lists seven possible modes:

  1. 1.

    Gradual divergence of two large populations after their geographic isolation

  2. 2.

    The founder principle

  3. 3.

    De facto differentiation of two races following extinction of the geographic intermediates

  4. 4.

    Local steepening of a cline

  5. 5.

    Selection against hybridization of strongly differentiated local races (area effects)

  6. 6.

    Stasipatric speciation: spread of chromosomal rearrangements aided by high levels of inbreeding

  7. 7.

    Sympatric speciation, in the strict sense, by assortative mating
