Certainly Statikk. The most famous example of isolation and evolution are the finches of the Galapagos Islands.
I may not have explained isolation and evolution clearly enough in my previous post. An organism within a population who possesses characteristics beneficial to its survival will have an increased chance of producing offspring who will inherit these characteristics. Such organisms will quickly dominate their gene pool, resulting in the entire species changing with it. Let's say that these changes were happening amongst fish living in a river atop a waterfall. A group of these fish travelled down the waterfall and became isolated from the rest of the group in a deep pool a few miles down. The fish at the top of the waterfall were perfectly suited to their environment, so they didn't change. The fish in the pool below, however, had to change to suit the different environment. Over a long time, the fish in the pool below and the fish at the top of the waterfall had DNA so different that they could no longer mate with each other.
