So you -are- claiming to be able to travel time then? Because you can’t have answered a question I have asked you for the first time, before I even asked it, without magical powers of that nature! Wow! An Actual Superhero! What is your Superhero name, or is it a secret identity?
As for Race and Species, the two terms may at first seem interchangeable, but they are not. For example, there are varying ethnicities within H. Sapiens Sapiens on our planet, so different races. They are different races, but all the same species. No other Species on the planet is H.Sapiens Sapiens, They are all however, able to mate and produce offspring. An American and Chinese person can produce children, despite being of different ethnic races. So that’s ‘Race’ defined for you, because you did seem a bit confused on the matter.
Species is -similar- but in broader terms. It means that something is different, but in some cases can interbreed. A Good example of this in our world would be the fact that Tigers and Lions are two different families of Big Cats, who don’t even naturally live on the same -Continent- as each other, yet they are able to mate, and produce Offspring. This is because they are of the same Genus. called Panthera (No, really, it is) Both Lions and Tigers belong to that Genus. Jaguars and Leopards belong to that same Genus also, but experiments as to whether they can breed have not I think been studied, they too live on two separate continents, and to be honest what is the point, they’re almost identical anyway. So one could argue that all Panthera are the same -Species- right?
That is where the waters get muddied, they are only the same Species because of one quality, that they can cross mate and are of the same Genus.
Now, to put this into Azeroth context, Humans and Elves can rather famously crossbreed. But does that make them the same Species?
No, Because they are not the same Genus. Humans are Titan Constructs, whereas Elves evolved from Trolls, who were native. Orcs and Draenei can crossbreed, does that make them the same Species? No, because they are not the same Genus, I mean they come from two different planets entirely, not just continents, so the whole evolution of their species’ would have been drastically different.
Now…The other problem here is ‘Viable Offspring’. Some cross matings of animals can indeed produce offspring, however that Offspring will itself be sterile. (Mules are a good example in our world, they cannot breed even with other mules 99.9% of the time…Not a made up statistic, a scientific one) So they aren’t a ‘thing’ as such, but a one off result of a mating between two members of different branches of a Genus.
Now apply this to Azeroth. Can Humans and Elves produce Offspring? Obviously they can. It is rare, but there are four examples in lore. Arator, Alodi, Giramar and Galadin. Now, what do all four have in common?
All Male. So we have no evidence in lore, that a male half elf and a female half elf could produce a child. We have no evidence that a half elf and a human could produce a child. Who knows, Half Elves may well be sterile, like a Mule in our world.
No you did not read the ‘libks’ (sic) or you would know that they prove you wrong.
Wrong again!
I was actually joking, but …this is 2021, and you think that evolution is a -lie-?
Amazing. I thought…well…I didn’t think people like that actually existed…I thought it was one of those things that you joke about when talking about Deep South people in the USA…
Ok…where to start…
I mean for a start there is no such thing as ‘sheeps’, the word ‘sheep’ is both singular and plural. ‘Sheeps’ isn’t a word. To use Azeroth context ‘Undeads’ is not a word, nor is ‘Worgens’ a word. The word for singular and plural is ‘Undead’ and ‘Worgen’.
So let me get my head around this… You actually are alive in the year 2021, and you think that Evolution is a Lie.
So let me just ask you. Who told the Lie? Who is this ‘Lie’ benefitting, what purpose does it fulfil? I mean if someone Lies about something, there has to be a motive, right? I mean there always is, so what was the motive?
How did Humanity come to exist? Do you honestly believe we were just created out of nowhere? (I Could tear the book of Genesis apart with a few statements but I am interested to see where this goes)
So yeah, how did Humans come to exist?
Where do Dinosaurs fit into this theory of yours?
What shape do you think the world is?
For that matter, how -old- do you think the world is?
This is some next level stuff, I had no idea what mental horrors we would unearth if we dug too deep…
I know that →
