New Species!

I think they're using the word species differently than I would.

It wouldn't represent a new species truly, unless you could invariably distinguish the organism from either of its ancestors in terms of behaviors, morphology, etc. By that criteria, we can represent blacks and whites as classes as being different species. You can analyze the charred remains of a corpse and use morphological factors to identify race. The research is there pertaining to average IQ differentials between white europeans and black africans, and the difference is substantial.

The hybridization you are describing is mongrelization. A general loss of distinguishing traits between the two parents. I'll tell you who's expense its at, but you already know.

You left out the important part: the kid keeps to his own kind, along with all the rest in his position. The example is a bit esoteric for laymen, so it's not surprising there's so much confusion.

The word "race" used to mean what "species" means today; however, since Victorians and earlier thought blacks & other races were different species, they used the word "race" to denote the different ethnicities & breeds - by the time the word "species" was created, "race" had come to mean the same as "breed".
