So where has anyone ever witnessed a species being born from parents with whom it is not capable of breeding?
I think you misunderstand the theory of evolution. Change is expected to be gradual, with children only slightly different from parents. And notice that we do see children as a little different from their parents. Evolution is about the accumulation of many small changes over multiple generations.

well documented
More than 100 cases of human tails have been reported in the medical literature.
Presumably that's where your 100 comes from.
​
Less than one third of the well-documented cases are what are medically known as "pseudo-tails"
Are you assuming that the 100 were all well-documented? Or could the "well-documented cases" be a smaller subset?
