Some people claim that there are currently more than one species of humans on planet Earth. Any serious research regarding this assertion is of course forbidden due to claims of racism and political correctness. Even if the argument for separate species is debatable it’s hard to argue that several subspecies don’t exist.
A species is a group that is capable of creating offspring by mating within the group. Members of different species within a genus can mate and create offspring, but those offspring will be infertile.
I think we can equate subspecies with races, or breeds, if we are talking about horses or dogs. Members of different subspecies can mate and produce fertile offspring. Theoretically, a great dane can mate with a miniature poodle and produce puppies, but I suspect the mechanics would defeat it. And we know for fact that the three acknowledged subspecies of homo sapiens have interbred for generations.
That’s what I remember about this from high school biology, and that was a very long time ago.
“Some people claim that there are currently more than one species of humans on planet Earth.”
Conservatives. Liberals.
They are as different as night and day.
But, as I understand it, a race and a subspecies, biologicaly speaking, are the same thing.
And everybody knows that, in humans, “race” is a social construct.
There are two species of humans now.
