Racial joke about Obama leaves Colorado banquet crowd gasping...

I disagree Logan - distinct species are typically defined as organisms without interbreeding capabilities. All humans are capable to breed with one another, hence a single species. We are at most different sub-species, or as we've defined traditionally, races. It's less than 2% of DNA that makes up our differences.

Do you realize that the difinition of species has changed? The old definition(loosely) was if two organisms can mate and produce fertile offspring, then they are the same species. Unfortunately for this definition, Grey wolves(Canis lupus), Red wolves (Canis rufus), and coyotes (Canis
Latrans) are able to reproduce with domesticated dogs(Canis familiaris). Were Canis familiaris wild and not domesticated, they would be broken up into thousands of species. Another example would be sparrows. There are many different species among sparrows, yet they are able to mate and produce fertile offspring. As you can see, it is not that typical of a designation. Hell, chimps and humans share at least 95% of common DNA. It is just not politically correct to apply standard Taxonomic principles to humans.....
