Formulate the main provisions (postulates) of the synthetic theory of evolution.

1. The local population is considered an elementary unit of evolution;
2. The material for evolution is mutational and recombination variability;
3. natural selection is considered as the main reason for the development of adaptations, speciation and the origin of supraspecific taxa;
4. gene drift and the principle of the founder are the reasons for the formation of neutral traits;
5. a species is a system of populations reproductively isolated from populations of other species, and each species is ecologically isolated;
6. speciation consists in the emergence of genetic isolating mechanisms and is carried out mainly in conditions of geographical isolation.
