Science says we’re 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. It’s just naming exercise.
