the same goes for any of the other so called homo species
danielost, I really wish you'd try for more complete thoughts in your posts. I thought you were a creationist of some sort, but sometimes you seem to try arguing pop science about evolution as if you value "mainstream" science.
I have little doubt that if we have any biologists reading this wildly long thread, they are pretty vexed by our layfolks abuse of their formal language and research. To start
Homo is a
genus, not a species, and the whole nomenclature thing is and always has been a work in progress.
Some other pushback:
true but what the aztecs and mayans did with corn no one else has copied including nature
Wrong. Leafcutter ants farm a fungi and other species "ranch" aphids.
Cro mangus existed in Northern Europe, but disapeared at about the same time(give or take a thousand years) as we arrived there.
Again, Cro-Magnon people were *the same species as us,* and we have genetic data to verify that.
I think the differences in the species were only superficial... like the differences between Asian and Uropean today.
I beieve this is about the "Neanderathal" stuff. There is ongoing debate about species names, but recent mitochondrial DNA evidence tends to support the hypothesis that they were a separate
Homo species, not a fellow
Homo sapiens subspecies.
The Wikipedia's certainly a debatable "authority" for information like this, but at least it's
a place to start learning the terms of the debate.
