....there is no reason to believe that the differences between so called "ring species" are the result of any new, more complex, functional genetic information not already present in an ancestral, interbreeding population
Actually there is, because we can do little things like genetic analysis and chromosomal assays these days.
We know for a fact that there are salamanders in California who evolved separately from others in the region due to a gain of function mutation.

Yet genetic analysis has raised more questions than it has answered"
The foundation of evolution theory, gradual modification over time, slowly transforming genes that already exist, cannot account for so called "orphan genes"......,genes without parents in every taxonomic group studied so far. Looking at it objectively, the theory of evolution has been falsified. You salamanders are still salamanders and there is no evidence that they will ever be anything but salamanders. As Darwin himself pointed out "natural selection can act only by the preservation and accumulation of infinitesimally small inherited modifications, each profitable to the preserved being... If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down."
