>>13291254I don't disagree that humans are more hardwired to detect differences between one another than differences between other species, but we do have a great degree of phenotypic diversity. More so than goldfinches, at least. And while all asians may look alike to you, you could easily distinguish a Japanese woman from a Tutsi woman. Yet both are human.
>>13291394I wish you did, sounds like interesting research.
>>13291202I mentioned this point earlier, except I used cats as an example. Since these animals were bred, by humans, to exhibit different characteristics, it's a poor comparison. That's not to say that there aren't other animals which are naturally as much, if not more diverse than humans. The question is why some species have more phenotypic diversity than others. I think this anon below provided a very good theory.
>>13291212>>13291262>>13291443Please do, it's a very logical explanation for this phenomenon.
I'm done for the night, gents. Thanks for keeping the thread alive.
