Speciation is the evolution of reproductive isolation among once interbreeding population. 

Factors which can lead to speciation are: 

Genetic drift: Over generations, genetic drift may accumulate which leads to speciation. Natural selection: Natural selection may work differently in different location which may give rise to speciation. 

Severe DNA change. A variation may occur which does not allow sexual act between two groups.
