No. No one has ever seen a species turn into another species.
I have. In fact we are at a remarkable time in america as mankind now has an offshoot species. While this species has spread through out the world already, it is quite prominent in america, centralized around some religious institutions. The main difference between standard humans and this new species is the complete denial of reality for the sake of unfounded beliefs and hostility when presented with rational instead of emotional arguments. Unfortunately
Homo Creationus will most likely be a short lived species due to its hostile behavior with the better adapted, more logical
Homo Sapien in which it parasitically draws technology and resources required for it's survival. This will certainly result in it perishing. I guess it goes to show that not all mutations are beneficial.
A more interesting story is how in Europe the environment made it quite dangerous for a particular king to just let people in pubs argue about the nature of things like what happens when you pump the air out of an enclosed space.
(Nature abhors a vacuum so you just can't do that! But I just did it. Nu uh.)
A new trait emerged- discovering what happens under what conditions but not making any statements about why. Pretty quickly this spread and took over the territory of the closely related form and at present that old form is only present in trace amounts.
Of course, the slobs in pubs and all equivalents still have very strong opinions on the whys of these things but these days they're not really able kill the king just by gettng worked up over an unrelated topic.
