Are lions and tigers different species?

• danans 7y ago
  Male ligers are sterile, so it's more plausible to call the parents different species. I've seen no evidence to support the proposition that the children of San and Pygmies with outside human populations are sterile. Given that, the question is what would the motivation possibly be to call them a separate species from the rest of humanity?

    There is evidence that the male offspring of the Neanderthal/African Homo spp. were infertile.

      Even if that were true, what does that have to do with the Pygmies or the San?
      • danieltillett 7y ago
        Nothing as Pygmies and the San are not different species of the homo genus.
