[QUOTE="Gene2memE, post: 74168588, member: 341130"] I'm not sure this makes syntactic sense. Can you rephrase? We're animals still. Huh? There's either one single species of human ([I]homo sapiens sapiens[/I]), or one extant type of humans (behaviorally and anatomically modern [I]homo sapiens sapiens[/I]) and many extinct sub-species (Homo neanderthalensis, Homo rhodesiensis, Homo heidelbergensis, Homo antecessor and Homo denisova) I'm not sure that follows. I don't think there are millions of any one species. So, why should there be millions of species of humans? Woah. Double woah. Wow, do you ever need an education about the conclusions from evolutionary biology about human origins. The evidence is that humans are a descendant population of an earlier population of ape-like creatures. Nothing about that means there should be a "bear human" or a "fish human" or a "donkey human". Humans aren't an evolutionary end point for all populations, we're just one branch of the Hominidae evolutionary tree. Evolution isn't trying to come up with more humans, its a winnowing process that finds the adaptations best suited to reproductive success in a given environment. Apes and bears last had a common ancestor about 80 million years ago, apes and donkeys about 100 million years ago and apes and fish about 300 million years ago. Why then, would you think that there should be a "bear human" or a "fish human" or a "donkey human"? [/QUOTE]
