Ellen White, Seventh-day Adventist prophet, wrote the following fascinating comments in the book Spiritual Gifts Volume 3.
But if there was one sin above another which called for the destruction of the race by the flood, it was the base crime of amalgamation of man and beast which defaced the image of God, and caused confusion everywhere. {3SG 64.1}
Every species of animal which God had created were preserved in the ark. The confused species which God did not create, which were the result of amalgamation, were destroyed by the flood. Since the flood there has been amalgamation of man and beast, as may be seen in the almost endless varieties of species of animals, and in certain races of men. {3SG 75.2}
For those interested in reading the entire book:
Details — Spiritual Gifts, vol. 3 — Ellen G. White Writings
So the question is, in which races of men did Ellen White see evidence of this amalgamation which defaced the image of God?
Seventh-day Adventists hold that Ellen White's writings speak with "prophetic authority" in their official fundamental beliefs.
What Adventists Believe about the Prophetic Gift | Adventist.org
The Scriptures testify that one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is prophecy. This gift is an identifying mark of the remnant church and we believe it was manifested in the ministry of Ellen G. White. Her writings speak with prophetic authority and provide comfort, guidance, instruction, and correction to the church. They also make clear that the Bible is the standard by which all teaching and experience must be tested. (Num. 12:6; 2 Chron. 20:20; Amos 3:7; Joel 2:28, 29; Acts 2:14-21; 2 Tim. 3:16, 17; Heb. 1:1-3; Rev. 12:17; 19:10; 22:8, 9.)
