Giraffes May Be Six Separate Species
The BBC reports on research, published in BMC Biology, pointing to the possibility that there may be at least six species of giraffe in Africa. Quoting: "'Using molecular techniques we found that giraffes can be classified into six groups that are reproductively isolated and not interbreeding,' David Brown, the lead author of the study and a geneticist at... UCLA told BBC News. 'The results were a surprise because although the giraffes look different, if you put them in zoos, they breed freely.'"
You mean he's incorrect? African-Americans and Hispanic people aren't disproportionately located in low income housing? Wow! It's great these people have been able to overcome the social handicap their ethnicities started with in America (as in, not being able to vote, having discriminatory hiring practices put in place against them, etc, etc). America must truly be a land of racial equality!
