There are different species of humans. Dont really care what the current media says.
This is definitely an opinion, and definitely unpopular, so kudos on staying on topic. But I have to ask, why do you care about what the media says and not the science? Also, did I miss scientific studies being published about this? What are the other species of humans called?
Science says weβre all blended into Homo Sapiens now.
But as a spouse to a biologist my understanding is there is no agreement in science what is a species. Defining species is more art than science and often political.
That said. In such cases, whether or not two communities are different sources i or just Su populations of one species - matters little in practical sense. Itβs just naming exercise.
it's not an opinion, it's just an incorrect statement
"polar bears are not real! I don't care what the media says, there's just no way a bear can be white"
this is not how opinions work
