  • Side note: I still have to skip past the walrus part of Planet Earth. I will ugly cry for an hour or more, and it will ruin my day. I've handled a lot of traumatic situations with stoic resolve, but for whatever reason, I cannot compartmentalize the walrus tragedy.

  • You're not wrong. One group will displace the other, though. Some of us Homo Sapiens still have genes from Homo Neanderthalensis. Neanderthals aren't around anymore, though. Also, archeological evidence suggests they didn't spend much time together.

  • I meant, can't we just be more specific rather than use paraphyletic grouping?

    "What's for dinner?"

    "Fish"

    "That could mean anything!"

    "You know I meant Actinopterygii."

    "Still pretty broad."

    "Oncorhynchus."

    "You know how I feel about trout."

    "Ugh. tshawytscha."

    "Well, why didn't you just say so in the first place?"

  • Can't we just un-fish it like we do for other clades when we need to?

    "There's an ape in the office!"

    "Yes, his name is Tom. More importantly, he is a human being, and we don't refer to them as apes outside of an academic context and even then, only when necessary."

    [Tom eats a banana, screams at an intern, and starts picking his nose]

  • I don't want to criticize internet absurdity for many reasons, including but not limited to the fact that I depend on it to survive. Having said that, what's the application of a length to area ratio?
