The most likely explanation for the evolution is the genetic drift. The genetic drift is an instrument of development in which allele occurrences of a population alter in excess of generations due to chance or called as sampling error. Genetic drift happens in all populations of non-infinite size but its effects are sturdiest in small inhabitants.
