You might as well make up another subgroup and separate people into bald and non-bald races.

You’re an idiot.

...

Dumb cunt doesn't understand basic biology, different species cannot mate.

>What are ring species?

SOON

haha

Subjective human extrapolation. It’s also why none of these are separate species.

jaguars are obviously more robust
completely different species

It's in the interest of the Biologist to find new species so he can add his name in the books.
All I can see is slim vs chubby leopard.

SOON !

Can ‘x’ reproduce with ‘y’? If yes they are the same species; if not they are separate species and

What do we call these things scientifically, besides breeds? Just curious.

>being this retarded

So a horse and a donkey are the same?
Same with horse and zebra?

Just breeds. These variations did not occur naturally, but artificially. That is why we call them breeds.

And yet Coyotes, Wolves and Dogs can mate even though they are different species.

Did my own homework. They're actually called subspecies.

canis lupus familiaris is a subspecies of Canis Lupis. It means domesticated dogs are a subpecies of gray wolves. The different variations of canis lupis familiaris are artificially selected breeds.

The way I'm looking at the taxonomy, it should be altered. From the history of taxonmy alterations, I see no reason why it can't be easily done.

Oddly, though, I feel like these kind of classifications are ones that most don't want to touch because they can give credence to eugenics.

That’s kind of autistic. Only some one who thinks “race is only skin color” would say that. Despite the fact race is the result of 70,000 years of evolving in geographically seperate areas.

The general rule is that animals of the same species must be able to procreate. This is a helpful demarcation because it covers most cases. Taxonomy is used to help understand patterns that define sets of organisms. Not to provide arbitrary demarcation, although it often plays out this way.

As it concerns humans, variation within any given race is broad or at least within a scope of modern society. That variation thus can not be useful to define the bounds of the species. The precedence for using something like pigmentation to define species, is not there.

But you are arguing over lexicology, which is idiotic. If you want to make a point that black people, or whatever your out group is, is inferior, you should not rely on word definition, but whatever evidence you may actually have.

A bit more specific: A general rule is that different species cannot interbreed, with the offspring also being vertile. Horses and donkeys can interbreed, but their offspring won't be vertile. Same for lions and tigers.

Yes sorry, you are correct
