@houseoftolstoy well according to the official taxonomy they are distinct species, cry all you want. Yes they could probably produce fertile offspring, but so can a Coyote and a pittbull, are they the exact same species too?
@PordanJeterson >but so can a Coyote and a pittbull, are they the exact same species too?
If they can indeed produce fertile offspring, I will gladly call them the same species. I don't care about what some official taxonomy says if they are going to pick and choose which are distinct species and which are not based on inconsistent criteria. And if these people tell me otherwise, I will challenge them to apply the standard to different races of humans as well.
@houseoftolstoy ah, then you are a retard with a marginally fancy vocabulary and are wasting my time, you say that any two organisms that can produce fertile offspring are the same sub-species? why is the sub-species criteria not important?
@PordanJeterson I said same species, not same sub-species. Don't put words in my mouth. I would not argue that they are the same sub-species, and the image in question says "species" and not "sub-species."
@houseoftolstoy also, i believe the point being made is that humans should at least be divided into sub species, not necessarily different species.
@houseoftolstoy there are fertility problems occurring due to race mixing last i heard. Also, other coincidental problems that science hasn't caught up to yet.

gonna be pretty hard to find blood and organ transplants in the future for these diverse mixed children. I anticipate that biotech companies will come up with a synthetic replacement for blood, and be able to grow genetically identical organs for transplant, someday.
@PordanJeterson >there are fertility problems occurring due to race mixing last i heard
Last I observed, there is a ton of people in Latin American countries that seem to be reproducing just fine despite the fact that many of the people there as a result of race mixing (at least from a long time ago when Spain was practicing colonialism).
Maybe that is just one example though.
@houseoftolstoy yeah, but that was just spaniards and just indigenous south american people, they basically created a new homogenous race, the mestizos, on the spot...the race mixing occurring in america is everyone from everywhere fucking everyone from everywhere else.
@tenshot clearly we are the same species, we're all human family, and not breeding these two would be wrong.
@PordanJeterson Don't speak such blasphemy.
@tenshot I hope you are being sarcastic. If you feel there is no difference between these organisms, you are lost, and I can't help.
@PordanJeterson
Clearly we are different species.
Breeding these two would be wrong.
There is no human family.
Racism is real and permanent. Embrace racism.
@tenshot but but! Muh fertile offspring!
@PordanJeterson Real talk, the top part of the image "being distinct species" is a whole lot of stupid bullshit. I am pretty sure that the African and Eurasian Golden Jackals could produce fertile offspring, making them NOT distinct species.
My guess is that the "distinct species" is a whole lot of agenda pushing of "scientists" who are of the Atheism+ variety who are overzealous about evolution.
