Yes, geographical isolation gradually leads to genetic drift. This may impose limitations to sexual reproduction of the separated population. Slowly the separated individuals will reproduce among; themselves and generate new variations. Continuous accumulation of those new variations through a few generations may ultimately lead to the formation of a new species.
