Could you explain the Genealogical Species Concept in an easy to understand way?
Also, PLEASE provide a real life example of it. I know it deals with the
genealogy of organisms, but how does this apply to species? The only thing I can
come up with as an example for this concept is the fact that organisms
interbreed and form subgenerations, therefore, contributing to their
genealogical "family tree" 
However, could you provide me a better example of the concept so I could further
grasps the idea of it?
