Ernst Mayr's idea of species as reproductively isolated groups of animals is useful for illustrating speciation, but taxonomically inaccurate, as taxonomists have, over the past century or so, collectively decided that this approach lacks descriptive power for reality.
This is how science is done.
Dying on the hill that we are all the same species is ridiculous either way. We classify each other just the same, we merely use different ethnic terms: European, Caucasian, white, African, Negro, black - which ironically change every couple years based on peoples childish sensitivities.
Regardless of how we classify people, even if we were to classify humanity as Homo sapiens africanus, europaeus, asiaticus, etc -
What would it change? Nothing. People would all be the same as they are now.
I pity you who will not look beyond such categories. I pity you who fear what might happen if we say race, instead of color or ethnicity.
For it is clear to me that you would be unable to see a man for a man, if only we would change some words. Maybe you've never seen them as men and you're only pretending.
You are the true racists. You need us all to be one race, because you never stopped wanting to kill and mistreat anything different from yourselves.
The concepts of respect, mutuality, mindfulness and cooperation do not exist in your minds.
You couldn't leave your hands off Africa, not back then, not now, not in the future. If Africans were a different race, and if they were unable to match European civilization, you hylics would want to kill them all.
But what do I care arguing in this thread. You will never see beyond your pathetic sensitivities.
You care not about truth or science. You simply use it as a tool to win debates, in order to justify your feelings. Avoiding all spiritual growth, every decision is made before you ever begin rationalizing it.
Even the supposedly most advanced humans alive are sad and pathetic animals.
