Reclassification of Homo sapiens.

[Enmos]

Looky here..

Litoria rubella

Litoria infrafrenata

Litoria nasuta

Different enough for you ? They are all in the same Genus (Litoria)

 

[Enmos]

The operative word there is if.
Chimps are a different species to humans.

Yes, they are. SAM is trying to misrepresent my point.

 

[S.A.M.]

The main argument I can see is one of time. i.e about 6 million years of separation from gorillas and a and 6 million years since chimps and humans branched off.

But thats assuming linear evolution and the necessity of linear differences in time/DNA similarity.

Ha ! They use the new classification in your image

Which one has the Porsche?

In fact, its the paper that supports it!!!1 :runaway:

Duh, I looked up the actual paper



“Implications of natural selection in shaping 99.4% nonsynonymous DNA identity between humans and chimpanzees: Enlarging genus Homo” by Derek E. Wildman, Monica Uddin, Guozhen Liu, Lawrence I. Grossman, and Morris Goodman, PNAS 2003 100: 7181-7188; published online before print as 10.1073/pnas.1232172100

Well, I suppose it's not Litoria nasuta since it's called the Striped Rocket Frog..
I'm assuming you see my point though..

 

[LifeinTechnicolor]

Wait Striped Rocket Frog??!!? Does that mean there are frogs with Jetpacks?

Ah thanks.. I couldn't find it

 

[Enmos]

there ya go ;D. BTW Im a bit new to this Sciforums. Hello ^_^

I see, welcome then

Wait Striped Rocket Frog??!!? Does that mean there are frogs with Jetpacks?

I think they actually have a build-in ramjet

 

[LifeinTechnicolor]

Are there any species of frogs we havent dicovered?

 

[LifeinTechnicolor]

I see, welcome then

Why Thank you my Friendly amigo

 

[S.A.M.]

Well, I suppose it's not Litoria nasuta since it's called the Striped Rocket Frog..
I'm assuming you see my point though..

Do you see mine? Or are you using anatomical differences as an argument? Whats the behavioural differences between Jetpack, Rocket pack and MacPack?

 

[Enmos]

Probably. But i suggest you start your own thread on that. Would be a nice one

 

[LifeinTechnicolor]

Ok :d

 

[Enmos]

Do you see mine? Or are you using anatomical differences as an argument?

No, you were using anatomical differences as an argument against Chimps and Bonobo's belonging in the same Genus as us. I'm just showing you are wrong.

Whats the behavioural differences between Jetpack, Rocket pack and MacPack?

I'm guessing the MacPack is too fat to take off ?

 

[S.A.M.]

I'm saying it doesn't matter if you are white, black, yellow or red [tall short fat thin]so long as I take one look at you and say FROG!

Uh.. what ?

A genus contains many species that are distinguished from each other by the inability to interbreed. As spider said that the species classification is outdated, I disagreed.

I also disagree with you that Homo and Pan are in the same category. There is more than Homo sapiens in this category and all of them can be easily distinguished from a chimp or bonobo.

Now if you simply look at a human, chimp and bonobo and are confused about which is which, thats a different thing altogether.

 

[S.A.M.]

So you look at a chimp and think Homo?

 

[Enmos]

So you look at a chimp and think Homo?

:roflmao:

Depends.. I'd size him up first, to see if I can take him. I wouldn't want to get beat up

But AGAIN, looks are unimportant. It's the genetics that link species together, not looks (frog example).
