- Terr_ 2y ago> They’re not the same as carrier pigeons. I never said they were, hence the word "linguistic", as opposed to something like "biological". Both were named mostly for appearances and behaviors, not rigorous phylogenetic analysis which hadn't been invented yet. Perhaps a similar pairing might be "badgers" on each side of the Atlantic, which--like the pigeons--have some similarities in appearance and were assigned the same taxonomic family, but are certainly not "the same as" one-another.
