Do you believe there are multiple species within human?

Question

For example, those who work for large corporations and those who work for themselves have totally different mentalities, behavioral patterns, and value systems.

Answer 1

yes but i think originally there was one species but as we spread out evolving for our lifestyle and region therefore destroying the original.

Answer 2

They are not different species, but they are different in the way you mention, yes. The set of values change from group to group, although it is difficult to establish objectively exactly what changes. A business man might have values which are oriented towards making money, above anything else, allthough this cannot be confirmed as a law, it is just something which can be detected in some cases. What we do for a living says a lot of who we are and what role we play in society. I recommend a very good by Erving Goffman called The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life. It talks about behavioral patterns in work and everyday life. If you are interested you will enjoy reading it.

Answer 3

Although there is some evidence of non-African archaic contributions to the modern gene pool, it appears likely that current human populations derive largely from a single African population, and diverged something less than 150,000 years ago. While time of separation is important in evolutionary divergence, effective population size can be an equally important factor. While the overall size of the human species has probably never been reduced to a handful of individuals, populations that migrated out of Africa may well have remained relatively small for thousands of years before beginning to expand toward their current numbers. If so, divergence due to random genetic drift would have occurred rapidly in the absence of high gene flow.


Make sense?

SO in otherwords...maybe a slight variaton in the DNA of where the origin of humans came from, but when it comes to their "different mentalities, behavioral patterns, and value systems" That is strictly the nurture aspect, if you raise a millionaire, he will become one, if you raise a child to be a dirtbag, guess what....you have yourself a dirtbag

Answer 4

People are equipped with free will, which is why there are many types of mentalities, patterns, and values. We are all of the same species, though.

Answer 5

The behaviors you describe fall well with in the human ambit; in other word we are one species.

Answer 6

Personality traights, plain and simple. It has nothing to do with species/sub-species/super-species. Remember, Hitler tried to "make" a superior species but he killed himself so he must have been something other than a super-species.

Answer 7

If you look at it that way there are many species of humans.

Answer 8

Yup. The good, the bad and the ugly! lol : )

Answer 9

I think there is, yes...

Answer 10

NO.
