Natural selection is not evolution, it is merely the supposed mechanism for evolution.It is not just, it is THE mechanism of evolution, without which evolution can not happen. Mutation happens all the time in human population but because there are no natural selection forces almost all human mutation dies off as useless.

The new species might be very similar to the old one but because they can not mate they cannot restore the old genetic material so with time it becomes more and more unique.
There are digital algorithms based on evolution that show that the idea works and creates more effective programs.
