So you're telling me that eventually a human female with give birth to a genetically distinct yet biologically similar species?When do you think that will happen?
I am not telling you this.
>you just know
>>16931216There is no hard line. Speciation is a social construct. You could class different races as different species if you felt like it, as interbreeding potential isnt where the line is drawn
>>16931216>genetically distinctRelative to what, retard?
It's like language. Old English eventually became modern English after going through a bunch of transitional stages. But a time traveler from the past would not understand us at all, and neither would we them, even though in the chain of that language's evolution, in every step fathers could understand both their sons and their own fathers.
>>16931268>in every step fathers could understand both their sons and their own fathers.I've heard of cases where a language evolved fast enough that old people had difficulty understanding young people, like Dyirbal.
>>16931268so youre saying we may already be a different breed of different stock?who was your great grandaddy? was he a human sapien???
>>16931216Already happened in the 50s, just not the way you'd expect.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HeLa
>>16931291It's an interesting question whether we could cross breed with our earliest homo sapien ancestors or not. Who knows.
>>16931216Every time a down syndrome or other chromosomal mutation baby is birthed that can't breed with humans because of its genetic variations.
>>16931475No, there's genuinely no universally agreed-on logically rigorous definition of what constitutes a different species.
>>16931216Nah, humans will probably go extinct in less than a century.
Zoomers are definitely a different species than boomers. I can tell you that much. So much so that you can impregnate any one of them with a single nut. Their frail sissy ovums are completely dominated by chad boomer sperm. Like they are desperate for stronger stock.
>>16931216No. There can be no exact definition of species, but for any reasonable definition the mother will be the same species as the child. You don't jump species in one generation. It's a gradual genetic shift.
>>16931491Damn nigga, so a sister became the first immortal?
>>16931814So how do things like different numbers of chromosomes or new organs arise?Life may be one of those things like time for which science can't define a sensible "beginning" point.
>>16931820I don't know anything about how new chromosomes or organs appear.>Life may be one of those things like time for which science can't define a sensible "beginning" point.Indeed, we're a long way from defining any such thing.
>>16931820>different numbersChromosomes can sometimes split or be fused during copying. Chimps have a couple smaller chromosomes that correspond with our second largest chromosome. It's just how they're bundled together.>new organsSometimes they just start as some simple bits that gradually get more complex over the generations. Sometimes it's just a duped organ that forks different paths of functionality from the original.
