Can a parasite be the same species as the host that the parasite lives off of?
Has this happened in any other type of animal than human beings?
@shortstories same species? No by definition. That would just be a competitor. You have things like the cuckoo bird that are similar species and steal resources from others by laying their eggs in the nest of another bird and getting its offspring a free ride at the expense of the true children.
If black people can reproduce with white people then they are the same species
But many black people are said to have a parasitic relationship with white people
Many black people can not survive as adults without white people
@shortstories I was strictly talking biological definition. I’m not a racial science expert. Plenty of people cannot survive without a society doing things for them, and a society tends to benefit those who contribute to it and their kin. This is true for the habitats of any organisms that modify their environment. The idea that humans would be unique is obviously just an example of race and ethnicity being a third rail for social discourse, especially when it can be conveniently stepped over by gay race communists looking to attack whites.
@shortstories This is also known as childhood.
@shortstories Colony insects like bees or ants can have something like that. If an old queen dies a new one can be made that's from an outside hive. But the workers / soldiers don't know any better so once the hormone signals go out from the new queen, they obey her until they're eventually dead and displaced by the new offspring. This is part of how africanized (killer) bees spread, by taking over weak hives that can't handle the desert heat.
