New species and adaptive radiation of species

Reference no: EM13514486

In the fossil record, we see periods of environmental change often associated with new species and "adaptive radiation" of species. Using your textbook readings and other sources, explain how/why environmental changes provide conditions resulting in speciation? Use an example from primate evolution to support your answer.
