Hybrids

Granted everyone has their opinions on the subject matter. Some people like hybrids some don't bottom line. Some say that it proves the theory of evolution. Some says it doesn't. I have thought of this alot. Probably what I am about to post will cause a bit of a stir, but hey I am feeling froggy.

Think about this. You have a rat snake from America and you could probably breed it to a rat snake in Asia. Now both snakes are compatible enough to succesfully breed but look different right. Now snakes are called different names depending on the region and bunch of other stuff. I live in Southern GA. I can go out this summer and find a corn snake and I can find a grey rat and I can find a cross of the two. Now as I read in an earlier post that is wrong and should not happen, but it happens every year down here.

Now lets apply this to humans. I decide to marry a woman from Asia. Now we both look different but can breed and we have children. Scientific name we are still Homosapiens. But yet we do not share alot of common characteristics with our body (ie hair, skin color, height, eye color).

My point is we are all classified under the same scientific name, but there are very noticeable differences between people of different regions. I know I am 1/8 Native American there is some Scottish in me and Irish. Isn't that hybridization. Yes there are some similarities with my parents but not many. I have a different eye color, and different hair (mine is thicker and different color) I can grow facial hair where my father cannot and he can grow where I can not (really strange I can grow side burns and he cant and he can grow a full goatie and I can't) Plus, according to my dentist, I have molars that are only found in Native Americans, I have an extra piece of tooth on the inner side my top molars.

Now with all that said, maybe we have classified ourselves wrong and instead of all being homosapiens we are Homosapien Americanus and there is Homosapien Africanus, H Asiantic, etc. Maybe what people are doing with reptiles is wrong, but you have to wonder.... If we can do it, is it wrong. Now I totally believe in evolution and I believe in God. What if this is the plan. What if we are supposed to do this and by doing this trigger the next big era and new animals start showing up in rapid numbers and older ones become extinct.

I am glad I am H Native Americanus x H Scotteus and x H Irish.

Like I said, something I have been pondering for 2 years now. And it is just an opinion. I hope that what I have written is legible, if not please excuse me, it is almost 2:00 in the morning here.

Please don't blast me for my opinion but I would like to hear others
