I did NOT say that Koreans and Somalians were becoming separate species

It seems like a stupid thing to say, doesn't it? But alas, you did say it in post 14.

So, Norwegians and Bangladeshis, if kept separate for millions of years, could wind up after that time as different enough from each other to constitute different species.

In post 14 you said "Speciation occurs when populations or sub-populations are isolated (genetically) from their sisters and brothers over a long period of time." There's no "could" there. You did not say 'species could be formed when... ' Previously, in post 14, you said you knew how species were formed. Now you say you don't know.

So, my question is, why do you think Bangladeshis and Norwegians are becoming seperate species? Do you have a particle of evidence to support that strange assertion?

To repeat, I never said that any race of humans was becoming another species; what I said--and evidence from genetics, fossils and current species supports--was that if and when sub-species (or races as we call them for humans) are kept isolated over long, LONG periods of time (millions of years), that this situation is the set-up for speciation. We are not close to that now, but theoretically, if Norwegians and Somalians were separate for the next 5 million years, yes, they COULD wind up as separate species since all the evidence we have now points to this as a method of speciation.

I hope this helps.
