Two palm trees on Lord Howe Island , 600 miles off the northern coast of New South Wales , Australia , evolved from a common ancestor despite no geographical separation.
Charles Darwin thought the island was unlikely to be an unlikely’ scenario for evolution to occur.
The discovery has demonstrated that environmental conditions can drive speciation even in the absence of geographical separation, scientists say.
