Neanderthals and homo sapiens, for example

or a sheep and a snake

Well, that's a little back in history so that's a bad example

you *could* make them mate

but they wouldn't provide offspring

They won't produce offspring, of course

ya no such thing as Neanderthals

weak evidence

they could be just another human race

that died off

there is such a small difference

Their reproductive systems are too dissimilar to do anything

like you could see a bigger difference between southeast asians and africans for example

Better example

Donkey and a horse

Two different species, but the reproductive systems of their respective gender counterparts are similar enough to reproduce to make a mule

donkey is still a horse

🤔

Yup, still in the same ball park

yes i dont deny that at some point you cant reproduce

i know there is plenty of evidence for that

yesnt

Then where do you draw the line between species?

Donkey ≠ Horse

but donkey isnt really a change in kind

What makes a species, for you?

kind not species

A normal donkey and a normal horse have different numbers of chromosomes

Oh god no.... creationism

like there is no evidence a bacteria could turn into anything other than a bacteria

I'm off to bed, it's midnight

yes same

gtg

Wait, evolution debate or gmo debate?

night

Just so I have context as I read all this

Good discussions so far, night

Well, reading this without context would be a waste

that would be how you learned the context

I don't know how far I'd need to scroll, but given the basis of the debate, I could extrapolate based on the last few sets of messages

*discussion
