Abstract
Distinct species originate from differences between members of one species. Over time these differences can lead to the formation of distinct populations, which might eventually become unable to interbreed. One species has split in two. The differences within species are the subject of population genetics. Here the descent of genes takes center stage. This is often modeled using yet another tree, the coalescent.
