I really don't see any way you could possible come to such a conclusion. By really any definition of a species, humans are one species. Not only that, but as a consequence of the youth of our species, the amount of genetic variation amongst humans really pales in comparison to the variation found in other species. If anything, I think the lesson of genomics is that the concept of a "species" is less useful than it has ever been.
- lifeisstillgood 14y agoSomeone has come to a definition of a species that is a) definable through DNA sequencing of a finger bone b) excludes from being Human, a girl 40,000 years old whom the articvle claims we mated with and had offspring as her DNA is also found in modern day humans. So, unless I got some facts wrong, quite possible, it is possible to mate with humans and have viable offspring and still be defined as non human by DNA testing. That has implications. I would like to understand the science.
