    On the other hand, new species are not created by humans and it’s still widely science fiction to even consider the possibility.

    Right, partially. Any new species that arise (which they will) will be a result of their environment. In many ways, it can be in spite of humans rather than because of them. As in, the traits that are more fit to resist our expansion will have a better chance at being passed down.

      Sure, but that’s not us creating new species. And evolving a species that is selected for thriving alongside humans does not happen in a few thousand years. So what you are proposing doesn’t make sense. We absolutely, crucially need to try and avoid killing off species because the lost biodiversity has dire implications.
