Yeah, think of ring species as the Latin language family. There was once on single mutually almost completely intelligible population of speakers, gradually speakers dispersed, local dialect evolved, until today, when one could go from Portugal to Spain, to France, to italy, to Romania, and never find a single break in the mutural intelligblilith of adjacent dialects in the continuum of the Latin language family, yet portuguese and Romanian on either end are mutually unintelligible despite the Latin origin of both, and are now definitively different languages.
