My dad asked this question when I explained some circumstances surrounding Homo sapiens survival against all odds.

We know there is only one hominid species left in the world, Homo sapiens. We also know that there are only 6 other species of great apes left: 2 species of chimpanzees, 2 species of gorillas, and 2 species of orangutans. These 7 species are the last remaining in the family Hominidae.

All the other hominids besides Homo sapiens died out tens of thousands of years ago, and we believe the reason our ancestors survived is because we were more "adaptable", meaning we were not restricted to a single environment but could survive in many others. This is the reason we later spread out all over the world, and probably why we gained "sapience" and are able to contemplate these grim circumstances.

At one point, following the eruption of the Toba volcano 70,000 years ago, there were between 1,000 and 10,000 mating pairs of Homo sapiens left, though there may have been other hominid species alive at the time. My dad asked, if the hominids faced such grueling environments and all but a few died, why did the great apes fare any better? Why are there 6 extant non-human Hominidae species left, but only 1 hominid species?

Breeded out I guess ? That's kinda how the Neanderthal disappeared. Great apes lives on different places around the world but humans went everywhere and fucked everything

>>
>>72106321
Spot on - also the hominid stock from Africa came up north and east in waves. Each time fucking with the previous but changed variety of the species.

This is also why abbos are the genetically most different from the rest of humanity, they got isolated for too long.

Also - we have a habit of putting things in boxes. evolution isn't a ladder, it's a gray scale.
>>
>>72106833
Abbo skull btw.
>>
>>72105942
Because liberal forces in science decided we're only one species. There's no real rule to what constitutes different species-it's a judgement call. I'd wager that the genetic differences between abos, niggers, and whites are larger the some, if not all of the genetic differences between great apes.
>>
>>72105942
Because we purified the race.

It's something that needs to be done every now and then so we don't have subhuman degenerates shambling around consuming resources and holding the rest of us back.

The difference between Man and Ape is that we understand what needs to be done for the betterment of our race.

Because those Great Apes aren't in direct competition with each other whereas the Hominids were.

Great Apes don't really expand their range and right now they're being penned in but the hominids were adaptable and intelligent enough to move around seeking better living arrangements before settling anywhere and we were quite a nomadic species for quite some time, following the herds of animals to ensure year round food supply.

Likely the children of those peoples would have themselves travelled further and further afield meaning Hominid territories would have overlapped leading to direct competition and when that happens only the best survive, the rest are destroyed, assimilated or are themselves forced to move to find greener pastures.

Here, have an unknown webm.

>>72105942
There are at least two surviving hominid species:
>Africans: h. sapiens mixed with unknown archaic hominids
>Non-Africans: h. sapiens mixed with neandertals, maybe denisovans

Pure h. sapiens doesn't exist anymore. And if you count the Asian theory of Asians being descended from h. erectus instead of h. sapiens, we even have 3 hominid species.
>>
>>72105942
Chimpanzees and Gorillas are hominids, a significantly number of species closely related to them went extinct. Most genres of the subfamily of Orangutans went extinct, only two species survived. I don't understand why you think the process of the human race is different.

Species are distinguished as pairs not being able to produce fertile offspring. What are considered distinct were either aborsorbed into the home sapiens or died out due to inability to be absorbed.

The homonid's had a really recent common ancestor so that didn't give much time for speciation. This was not the case of great apes.

Those pictures always fascinated me. I remember seeing one with Caucasian, Asian, Native American, Black, and Aborigine skulls from various angles. The features of the Caucasian, Asian, and Native American skulls were all roughly the same, with very minor differences, most notably in the chin and cheekbones. The Black skull stood out, but compared to the Aborigine skull still felt like it had a lot in common, like there was some missing skull that could fill out the slide.

The Aborigine skull, like in your picture, feels completely out of place. The forehead, eye sockets, and nasal cavity are just dramatically different. The whole skull looks elongated compared to all the others too. I know about the Denisovan thing, but the skull structure looks totally off the scale.

>2 species of chimpanzees, 2 species of gorillas, and 2 species of orangutans.
I don't think you appreciate how genetically diverse this selection is compared to early hominids, nor how quickly early hominids spread and evolved.

Why do you assume that chimpanzees fared better to begin with? How many species of chimpanzees have gone extinct before we've reached the narrow selection we currently have?

It's not just some "terminology" game. It's the difference between the mountain and a mole hill. Just because they're both raised surfaces, that doesn't mean they're the same.

No one on /pol/ is going to deny that there are distinct genetic differences between nigs, abos,and caucs. But these differences aren't particularly profound in the grand scope of biology and genetics. There really isn't any suitable definition of "species" that could really be created to qualify the separations between races.
>>
>>72109480
My point exactly.

>>72109533
If they can breed across multiple generations and still maintain fertile offspring, it's a single species. They're still difference races, but they're not different species.

>>72109002
I'm curious, are there interacial white-aboriginal couples? That would be fun to watch.

That's a stupid question, it's due to fate, circunstances are kinda random and overwelming so one specie might not make it when a deviant of itself got better genetics and is everywhere.

hominids are not a specialiced creatures, so there wasn't compettion against sapiens, the rest got breed out.

Genes preservation might have took a huge part when mixing tho.

Species is bogus concept as there's several different species that are able to interbreed while producing viable offspring, there's also several different species with lower genetic distance than the known genetic distance among 'human races'.

>>72109744
>Species is bogus concept as there's several different species that are able to interbreed while producing viable offspring
What you're discussing is more of an argument between phylogeneticists and taxonomists. There's several difference species of speciation. These include infertility, geographic isolation, niche occupation, and genetic differences.

That doesn't mean that the concept of species is completely bogus; it means that it's not concrete. Blue and Red don't cease to exist just because you can create purple.
>>
>>72109980
Terminologies don't hold more meaning than what is observed.
>>
>>72109977
Being able to interbreed is not just "one shared attribute". There are estimates of being roughly 8.7 million species on the planet. Do you realize just how hard it actually is for organisms to find something to fuck?

It's called survival of the fittest

Humans are Homo sapiens, we are of the hominid family, we survived because we beat them, humans were adapted for survival almost anywhere, while most hominids are adapted at surviving at their specialized locations, we outclass them

We are like them, so wherever we are, we must think the same, we hunted the same food, did the same thing, but we adapted to our location, we start to outclass them and drove them to extinct

Why reproduce, 99% of your dna shared with bonobos, the great ape race will live on.

Because there haven't been enough time to develop enough biological differences.

Closest we came to that was with Neanderthal (200 thousand year )
>>
>>72111046
>genetic distance should be the main attribute to determine different species
But there's a lot more to it than just that. Subtle genetic differences can create drastic genetic incompatibilities in a relatively short species of time, which is precisely why we have cases where genetically similar organisms that have only single-allele differences.

You still need to see how these genes are expressed to get an overall perspective of how selective pressures are acting on an organism. If you're only looking at genetics, you lose all meaning.

That's wrong, negroes are the most different.

They were on their way to become another species.The breeding between homo sapiens and Neanderthals we're minimal.Only a few percent of our DNA is shared.
This is because the offspring of a Neanderthal man and sapien woman wasn't liable so the exchange was between a sapien man and Neanderthal woman.

I disagree, new mutations may be early signs of speciation or even relativelly new environmental changes, making it great tool to define new species or even predict the rising of new ones, DNA is also proxy for not only taxonomy but also behavior, another key factor used to define species.
