That's because, quite simply, there's no such thing as a species in that sense. They are only observable by differences, and to call one thing a dog, say, and another a wolf, is simply a matter of convention. We are used to dogs and wolves being different species. Of course, an amoeba is different from an elephant, and scientists have not observed them interbreeding, but at the level of the dynamic process, you can't draw a line to say that variation has produced a new species.

In evolutionary terms, species are simply a snapshot of where we've got to as of now.

Some scientists claim the variation observed has been sufficient to warrant the name of new species:
