With all the species concept discussion today, I have been pondering and I genuinely love the idea of having a species concept separate from scientific species concepts, sort of like how there’s the idea of gender while there’s also sex.

There’s already an idea of “human” separate from the characteristics that define Homo sapiens — to be human is typically associated with compassion and empathy or whatever, and none of that is all that relevant to reproductive compatibility or genetic similarities to other species? So surely it’s possible for other “species” to be separated from their taxonomy? (/genq)

This is a huge fact!
