you *could* make them mate

2019-11-18 05:26:39 UTC  

but they wouldn't provide offspring

2019-11-18 05:26:44 UTC  

They won't produce offspring, of course

2019-11-18 05:27:19 UTC  

ya no such thing as Neanderthals

2019-11-18 05:27:26 UTC  

weak evidence

2019-11-18 05:27:33 UTC  

they could be just another human race

2019-11-18 05:27:35 UTC  

that died off

2019-11-18 05:27:40 UTC  

there is such a small difference

2019-11-18 05:27:41 UTC  

Their reproductive systems are too dissimilar to do anything

2019-11-18 05:27:59 UTC  

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

2019-11-18 05:28:14 UTC  

Better example

2019-11-18 05:28:28 UTC  

Donkey and a horse

2019-11-18 05:29:02 UTC  

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

2019-11-18 05:29:23 UTC  

donkey is still a horse

2019-11-18 05:29:35 UTC  

🤔

2019-11-18 05:29:39 UTC  

Yup, still in the same ball park

2019-11-18 05:29:46 UTC  

yes i dont deny that at some point you cant reproduce

2019-11-18 05:29:53 UTC  

i know there is plenty of evidence for that

2019-11-18 05:29:55 UTC  

yesnt

2019-11-18 05:30:10 UTC  

Then where do you draw the line between species?

2019-11-18 05:30:12 UTC  

Donkey ≠ Horse

2019-11-18 05:30:13 UTC  

but donkey isnt really a change in kind

2019-11-18 05:30:15 UTC  

What makes a species, for you?

2019-11-18 05:30:23 UTC  

kind not species

2019-11-18 05:30:25 UTC  

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

2019-11-18 05:30:39 UTC  

Oh god no.... creationism

2019-11-18 05:30:53 UTC  

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

2019-11-18 05:31:11 UTC  

I'm off to bed, it's midnight

2019-11-18 05:31:14 UTC  

yes same

2019-11-18 05:31:16 UTC  

gtg

2019-11-18 05:31:17 UTC  

Wait, evolution debate or gmo debate?

2019-11-18 05:31:17 UTC  

night

2019-11-18 05:31:24 UTC  

Just so I have context as I read all this

2019-11-18 05:31:36 UTC  

Good discussions so far, night

2019-11-18 05:31:56 UTC  

Well, reading this without context would be a waste

2019-11-18 05:32:13 UTC  

that would be how you learned the context

2019-11-18 05:33:05 UTC  

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

2019-11-18 05:33:13 UTC  

*discussion

2019-11-18 05:33:14 UTC  

The bad thing about discussions, is that there usually isn't enough time to connect your points to create a solid argument, so what you have left are a bunch of unrooted evidence floating in space

2019-11-18 05:33:29 UTC  

not willing to scroll up, not going to learn the context

2019-11-18 05:33:44 UTC  

Also, your evidence will also be challenged, causing you to get sidetracked into another discussion
