#so far I've been describing h.neanderthalensus as not the same species but not a different one

[spinosauridae]

I got put in a headspin over the term Species and Subspecies

Because of guess what human taxonomy! Because, the definition of a species makes me want to bash my brains out, because if there's enough exceptions to a rule it's no longer a rule. Yet, I can't seem to find terms that are clearer than "Genus, species, and subspecies" because apparently we don't get that grace i don't get that grace. What i get from google is "Nobody can agree on shit" or articles from fucking 2010 so

#trigger warning taxonomy #speciation #subspecies #i am in a TIZZY because remember when we took a bunch of spinosaurid remains and said they were probably all spinosaurus? #and im thinking about various morphs in domestic animals such as snakes and how there is often a lot of variety within a species #so far I've been describing h.neanderthalensus as not the same species but not a different one #that first tag becomes more and more serious the more i use it
