Are all humans the same species?steemCreated with Sketch.

in #human8 years ago (edited)

This is a very controversial subject, a subject that can easily end up with people being accused of being racists but is it a stupid question? I don’t believe it is. Is it a even racist question? I do not believe it is. Why?

Below shows two different spices of butterfly, Adonis Blue female (left) and Chalk Hill Blue female (right)

The two species of bird above were seen as not the same mainly due to the observation they do not breed with each other. But sometimes animals have been known to produce a offspring with a different species of animal, Lions have breed with Tigers and some bears like the Grizzly bears are said to be compatible with the polar bears.

The Liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion and a female tiger, thus both its parents are from the Panthera genus, but from different species.

So we know that animals do not necessarily have to be the same species to breed and can appear almost identical to a different species from themselves so who is to say that White people are the same species as Chinese people? There could even be white that are not the same species as other white people.

If we Google “are all humans the same species?” we get this answer.

The billions of human beings living today all belong to one species: Homo sapiens. As in all species, there is variation among individual human beings, from size and shape to skin tone and eye color. But we are much more alike than we are different.

I have no doubt we are much more a like than we are different but does that make us all the same species?

Scientists acknowledge that different species of Human have existed in the past Neanderthal being the most well known and scientists also believe that the Neanderthal were sexually compatible with us and we actually still carry Neanderthal DNA to this day so are we as a species even the same species we were when we first existed? Probably not.

If there different species of human on earth or if we some races are a slightly different species to other races with slightly different strengths and weaknesses does that mean we should hate, destroy or even stop mixing or breeding with each other? I do not believe it does.

To ask the question are there multiple species of human is not racism to claim that a certain “race” or “species” is superior, more important or less important is racism. Even if we are more different to each other than we originally thought, we are still and will always be the same .

Good article! If you look at the complete title of Darwin's book, you'll see that you aren't alone... On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life). Darwin believed that we're not the exact same species. One thing he omits (probably so he wouldn't have to sleep outdoors) was his belief that men were naturally superior to women.

It is a interesting subject and most people do not even consider it. As for men are naturally superior to women thats obvious!

I think we might ought to keep that one between us lol!

It's very interesting post!!
Thank you from sharing :)

Dear Users,
I came back live because the abuse listed below is immoral. I will make something clear to all. I am not a bot, I use no auto codes, I do all manually, and I'm very good at everything I do, and put my hands on. You all sit around entertaining and supporting this evil person @berniesanders . You see how he does accounts in negative and treats them less than human. You see the way he bashes and abuses this blockchain and others. Those who support this immoral user who is a legend in his own mind and has won nothing, are now subject to the same tactics used before, with some new added since we want to go to another level of treating people unequal. I will come and fuck up every post painting it with truth and turning viewers and potential payers away, including new users. After all, I too am an artist. I see good people being misled, and clueless following as well. Post like this only aggravate situations, they never help. It's never good to go talking like that about others. So if you're as evil as he is, I'm coming for you. Now I made a promise to a friend to lay these accounts down for the benefit of a lot of things, and a lot of people. So, I now will show the world who is responsible for my quick return. @berniesanders is an immoral, evil, simple minded, heartless with his ways, human being. You want to fix a real life or blockchain problem, Take his ass out, and let the blockchain flourish. Take out the real trash. My flags and spam messages trying to have an equal voice never made me less than any of you. And we all well know, we see my messages as I go 1 by 1. So my friends, since this tyrannical person wants to continue to abuse others, I will remain on the server with all accounts live until @berniesanders is in the -negative reputation. I want him to know what it is like to be attacked into silence. We will see how he spams then to be heard. That is now the only cure for this virus created by abuse on humanity. Have a good day, keep smart ~ This Is A Call To Take Out The Real Trash ~ @berniesanders
