ring species don't exist

There wouldn't be a controversy around whether or not neanderthals, for example, were a sub species, if you were right

Just read the bloody wikipedia page at least dude

```
The hierarchy of biological classification's eight major taxonomic ranks. A genus contains one or more species. Intermediate minor rankings are not shown.
In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank, as well as a unit of biodiversity, but it has proven difficult to find a satisfactory definition. ```

neanderthals weren't sub species

dummt

```It is difficult to define a species in a way that applies to all organisms.[33] The debate about species delimitation is called the species problem.[28][34][35][36] The problem was recognized even in 1859, when Darwin wrote in On the Origin of Species:```

lmao

imagine using wikipedia for knowledge

Here's one example that ruins your definition for speciation

read a book cuck

No, no, you misunderstand

your position is so bad that even wikipedia disproves it

that's what's going on here

nope, you did

nope

Anyway, here's an example:

wikipedia is written by newbs

Organisms which reproduce asexually: Is each individual of an asexually reproducing kind of life, a unique species?

Because they can't interbreed

no one with accomplishments in their field would write an article in Wikipedia

no they would write a ffucking book

So obviously there's more to speciation than just breeding capacity

It's about traits, too

nope

all of this text on this page has sources from books btw

so there you have your precious books

fake news

```Natural hybridisation presents a challenge to the concept of a reproductively isolated species, as fertile hybrids permit gene flow between two populations. For example, the carrion crow Corvus corone and the hooded crow Corvus cornix appear and are classified as separate species, yet they hybridise freely where their geographical ranges overlap.[60]```

lol

fake news

Fake news because you don't like what it says

A true liberal badass right here, lads

fake news

Species is just a word used to describe certain levels of genetic similarity

It doesn't have a fixed, rigorous definition that always works

It doesn't change anything if bantu and Scandinavians are the same species, or aren't

things are what they are anyway

nope

what ever you call them

it's pretty fucking right imo
