interesting … so I looked it up here : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_taxonomy
…and “homo sapiens sapiens” is not well defined for now at wikipedia - - maybe not the best source I know.
Do I read it correctly that you are an evolutionary biologist ?
No, I just watch content from evolutionary biologists, because it’s something I’m interested in.
It may not be that our version of the species will be renamed, but since species delineations are somewhat arbitrary (where does one generation stop and one start, when it’s actually a gradual process?), future generations of biologists may decide that we are something else. Either way, we won’t be around to know!
Yes …and the name will have to change from Homo sapiens to something else.
Homo Evolutis
I’ve heard from other evolutionary biologists that the next gen will be homo sapiens sapiens, and we’ll be renamed something else.
