--- Quote from: Swholli on May 23, 2009, 09:36:24 PM ---Ok you shut up. We're creating new species all the time. For instance, take a look at male pattern baldness. Back when we lived outside in caves we were as furry as monkeys, but look at us today. We live in warm man made houses. Our genetics don't need the hair any more, and thus, we're going bald.
Eventually, everyone will probably be.

But then, the new species are still humans?

What I believe Swholli meant to say was that we are changing as a species all of the time. These changes are not enough to make us into a radically different species. We are still homo sapiens (or homo sapiens sapiens, if you want to go with that other theory).

They're still humanoid. Homosapien. It's like how there are different species of Dog, but you still call them a dog, right? I mean you even see it in race. We have humans who adapted to their hot sunny environment and thus are darkened skinned, whereas the humans in Europe who had cloudy skies turned out pale and white. You see examples of mutation and evolution everyday.

Oh, now I understand it.

Yay, this is turning into less of a debate and more into a discussion in which we give knowledge. At least I hope.
