That headline just destroys the whole concept of evolution. heh.

Yes. If there was evolution in this case, why are the chromosomes still compatible for procreation? Perhaps “evolved” was misused here.
I guess the author should be asked if Chinese are a different species than the Indians
The people who write headlines are not those who write the articles. The copy editor/headline writer made a dumb mistake. It happens all the time.
“Perhaps ‘evolved’ was misused here.”
Obviously, they didn’t mean genetic evolution. Though there are certainly some genetic differences. It’s more like how rock ‘n’ roll “evolved” from the blues. Except, as stated, genetics has a tiny little bit to do with it.
It is not used in the text of the article. I suspect the headline did not come from the author.
