Now, I wanna start off by saying, I’m not trying to be racist and I’m not basing this on any language, culture, etc., just genetics and physical appearance.

Now, I wanna start off by saying, I’m not trying to be racist and I’m not basing this on any language, culture, etc., just genetics and physical appearance. Okay so White, Black, Middle Eastern, Spanish, and Asians all look considerably different right? We all started out as apes/Neanderthals, I think that somewhere along the line of evolution, different subspecies of human were created. I once thought maybe we were all different species, but the fact that our DNA and genetics are so alike that that wouldn’t really be possible. However, our DNA is different enough to be considered different subspecies. For example: skin pigmentation (melanin). One example to this is fish. There are some species of fish that look almost completely identical, yet they are different species/subspecies because of different pigmentation in their scales. There are a lot of other animals that also have different subspecies, although they are almost genetically identical, they are considered different subspecies due to either size, stripes/spots, color, etc. Examples of this: 6 subspecies of tiger (originally 9 but 3 went extinct) which are determined by size, shade of orange, thickness of the stripes, and fur around the face; 2 subspecies of lion which are determined by the mane; etc. You see my point.

One argument that is against different subspecies of human is that all humans can reproduce with one another (male and female obviously lol). However, there’s plenty of evidence that disproves that in nature. A Great Dane can mate with a Golden Retriever, yet they have different genes. A Grolar Bear was found in Alaska, which was a hybrid between a Grizzly and Polar bear, and it occurred naturally. There are two types of gorilla that are genetically closer in relation with each other than that of humans, yet they are considered different subspecies although they can reproduce together. Even lions and tigers can reproduce. No it’s not natural, but their genetics are so different and it’s surprising that they can.

So I just wanna hear people’s opinion. I don’t want to hear anyone calling me stupid or dumb because of this. Although I may not be right, I brought up a few valid points that people should really thinkskin analyzer software about. I would just like to hear other people’s opinions 🙂

Answer:
Maikang Well, subspecies = geographic variation within a species. Certainly, different people from different parts of the world do look different. The difficulty in delimiting subspecies is exactly what type of taxonomic characters one can use to distinguish different subspecies. So far, for every taxonomic charcter that has been proposed, there is more variation within a population than there are difference between different populations. E.g. skin color is more variable within any given population than it is between populations. Therefore there has never been a satisfactory subspecies classification of the human race. Hence most modern biologists do not bother with the exercise.skin analyzer

Maikang Granted, humans have a great variety in terms of looks. But the shape of the eyes and skin color are very minor differences. A true subspecies would be the Neanderthals. Having taken hundreds of thousands of years to adapt to the harsh and cold conditions of Europe and Asia, they were quite different than modern humans. They had stockier bodies and larger muscles. They had expanded rib cages which housed larger lungs.skin analyzer
