There's so much news happening around the world that we're somehow supposed to stay on top of.

That's why we launched The Big Take.

It's a daily podcast from Bloomberg and I Heart Radio that turns down the volume a bit

to give you some space to think.

I'm Wes Kosova.

Each weekday I dig into one important story and talk about why it matters.

Listen to The Big Take on The I Heart Radio App, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

Brought to you by the reinvented 2012 Camry.

It's ready. Are you?

Welcome to Stuff You Should Know from Howstuffworks.com.

Hey there, welcome to the podcast. I'm Chris Pilate. I'm one of the editors here.

And with me, as always, is Staff Rider Josh Farck.

Hey Josh. How's it going?

You're OK. I thought we would talk about what happens when animals evolve in isolation.

And basically it starts with the theory of evolution and how we're all related.

Exactly. Yeah. And like you said, you hit upon this theory.

I think we should say that not everyone subscribes evolution, but if you're a scientist, you most

likely do. There are a few ways to go about evolving.

And one of them is through evolution and isolation.

For that to happen, you have to go through a speciation event.

And what that is is just when one species becomes two or more species, for example, bears.

You want to talk about bears?
