  1. Due to genetic mixing between people of different backgrounds, with even more expected in the future as society becomes more tolerant, it is VERY unlikely for a subspecies to emerge from the Homo Sapiens.

    Sub species usually emerge when there is selective pressure or genetic isolation. The domestication of dogs (an arguable subspecies of the wolf) being an example of selective pressure (caused by humans) and the differentiation of African and Asian elephants being an example of genetic isolation.

    So unless there is a great cataclysm that shatters human civilization and isolate humans from one another or a group decides for whatever reason to close themselves to the rest of the world for at least dozens of generations, sub-speciation is very unlikely to occur with humans.


  2. Yes their is the power sub species Political-erectus . Trates , Can;t tell the truth . Always has their hands in the till .  

  3. In a few thousand years, African Pygmies could become a sub-species, similar to Homo floresiensis...

    They reach Menopause in their 20's, and rarely live past age 40!
