Imagine an island inhabited by a large population of a certain kind of creature, let's call them furberts. Let's call our group of furberts "Population A." Now, imagine that a powerful hurricane picks up about half of the furberts (remember, you're imagining this) and blows them to another island. Let's call this group "Population AB." As everyone knows, furberts can't swim, so there's no way for the furberts in Population AB to get back to their old island.
The furberts of AB changed form over millions of years, they no long look anything like the A ferberts. The changes over a very long time also resulted in no AB furbert breeding with A furberts.
