Should We Just Call Dog Breeds a Different Species?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-technically-but dept.

Jamie found an amusing bit this morning on Scientific American where the author proposes that dog breeds are different species. Now some of you might recoil when you hear this suggestion, but if you read the article to see why he makes this suggestion I suspect you'll crack a smile and appreciate the elegance of the solution.

    Your point misses reality. We're talking about a group that already ignores logical arguments and uses science selectively and only when it will seem to benefit their argument. So to counter this, you try to provide them with an argument that will be incredibly easy to turn around and use to boost their own case.

    Good luck with that.
