A student argues that being separated geographically is the only way for speciation to occur. Why is he wrong?

Geographic separation can cause populations to evolve independently, but it is not the only route to speciation. Biological forces—such as differences in mating behavior or reproductive timing—can prevent populations living in the same area from interbreeding. Therefore, “Speciation can occur from biological forces as well” is correct.
