“Species” is now a political term. Same for “evolution”.
I am with you. I was taught that as part of defining a species was that species could not interbreed. Or at a minimum their offspring was unable to reproduce. As in donkey and horse.
What I’m curious to find out is if they rooted around digging up old graves for relatively meaningless tidbits of information?
Race or breed are both correct.
All dogs are Canis familiaris. This does not mean maltipoos should share space with Pit Bulls
