Hi
Evolution-->> It is a sequence of gradual change occuring since primitive organism.
It is basically the organic evolution.It is a sort of progressive process which helps in adaptation and it is still going on.
Speciation-->> It is a type of evolution which occur due to reproductive isolation (Geographical seperation) so as to adapt with new atmospheric conditions.

So, does evolution always forms new species? Or is it just a change in that particular species?

And yeah, evolution leads to speciation or speciation leads to evolution or neither of them lead to the other???
