Using genetic mobile elements researchers showed yellow baboons in western Tanzania received genetic input from three distinct lineages.
".. mobile elements are responsible for some genetic diversity, but not all differences. Their activity, or rate of movement, is also variable between species, including at different times. While baboons currently are on "fast forward," orangutans, for example, are almost on pause. Humans are somewhere in between..... The processes by which they impact the genome are called insertional mutagenesis, transduction and recombination. Tracking the insertions, which is Batzer's specialty, offers two advantages in establishing shared or separate ancestry..
"We now believe mobile elements are one of the single biggest driving forces impacting genomes, and not just among primates, but across many mammals and many non-mammalian systems as well," Batzer said.

"Evolution acts over millennia. But given the right conditions, it can also work surprisingly rapidly. Australia’s isolation produced our distinctive animals. But until recently in a geological sense, it had no camels, cats, toads and dogs. Now it does. Millions of feral animals, birds and amphibians now call Australia home. And their new home is beginning to change them in turn."

Could feral animals in Australia become distinct species? It's possible – and we're seeing some early signs theconversation.com/could-fera

Challenging to cover 4.55 billion years of history, but hope it gives some perspective and food for thought!

Some very interesting and cool science here - researchers have just described a very rare method of where two species of fish spawned a third, hybrid one, and now there are three distinct populations of fish in this one lake in that generally do not interbreed or compete. This blogpost makes the story quite accessible, explaining the previously known situations where this can occur, and why this one is so unusual.
