Are people with Asperger's homo sapiens?

Post Reply New Topic

We are vessan.

If a person with Asperger's and an NT have babies, those babies are (barring exception circumstances) fertile. Ergo we are the same species.

Oh.

My.

Thank you.

That is the funniest thing I have read in a LONG time!

This is where we might come from...

Noone gets what I mean when I say vessan?

Of course we are homo sapiens. Are brains are just wired differently than most people's brains.

I had to google it. Mad props on the obscure nature of your reference:) I'm impressed.

Yes, we're homo sapiens. You have to have a heck of a lot more variation than just Aspie versus NT to call something a separate species. A Yorkie and a greyhound are the same species, and they're more different from each other than Aspie and NT are. It'll take at least another few hundred thousand years for any true human sub-species to emerge, if they do.

Lol, I too had to google it. Well done.

No, if a neanderthal, and a homo sapien have a child, that child will be fertile. They're both, different kinds of human.
This theory is suggesting, that Aspies are a different type, of human.

It's just semantics. You can group similar deviate behavior and tag it as a separate species if you feel like it.

Also, there's lots of more difference in actual behavior from people with OCD and those without compared to a Poodle and German Shepard. Enough to make a separate species? Sure.

Anyhow, all of this translates into the human race whether on the Autism Spectrum or not.

No, we're ostriches.

People with Aspergers are :

| domain = Eukaryotes (membranaceous cells)
| phylum = Chordates (having a notochord)
| class = Eutheria (Placental Mammals)
| order = Primates
| familia = Great Apes (Simians)
| genus = Homo
| species = Sapiens

So, we are all one species.

The thing that makes species different is genetic isolation - even our cousins the Neanderthals were still humans, of a different "breed," not distant enough to even be a species.

Evolution isn't at all like "X-Men" - populations evolve - individuals do not. Evolution is a function only of breeding populations over long spans of time.

Thanx it's a great show if you ever want to watch it. I think we are much like certain vessan, like the blutbot, but not like born evil vessan.

Species have never defined by behavior, it's by genetics, the key is that different species have a substainable breeding population and cannot have a substainable breeding population from crossing the species. Anyway, considering that there is no line between NT and Autistic considering them to be different species is just absurd.
