In 2004, Allen Orr and I summarized the history of work on speciation and what it told us about nature. The ensuing five years has seen a flurry of work on the topic, encompassing molecular biology, natural history, genetic analysis, and even philosophy. This talk updates what I see as the important -- and tractable -- questions about speciation.
