Just read a news article about how 3 completely new types of bacteria have been found on the international space station due to it’s isolation, if that’s the case then how did they get there if we have never observed them before? what created them?

To illustrate just how fast bacteria can evolve and adapt, [Here’s](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/watch-ecoli-evolve-your-eyes-180960418/) a video of e.coli developing antibiotic resistance.

It’s not *quite* the same as a new species evolving, but helps give an idea of how fast it can happen.
