Sub Questions:

Is genetic diversity beneficial to our long-term survival as a species? Would Homo sapiens sapiens further diversify and branch out into subspecies etc? Or would we do the opposite and become even more homogenous?

If cultural diversity is essential to our survival - isn't humanity doing just the opposite? Isn't humanity hindering and assimilating diversity (indigenous cultures) - at the same time spreading popular, homogenous modern cultures?

But if cultural diversity isn't important, then I reckon we have absolutely nothing to worry about, right?

I'm not so sure about the future of Earth's biodiversity though.

(Note: These are questions, not points of view written in stone).

As a interested person in culture, culture is ever changing phenomena. Further, they are always in the threshold of change. Thus, cultural change is the process of hybridization. As your concern about diversity, the diversity is just reflection of different cultutures because of the context, geography, origin, history, time, model practice. This is because there is always diversity, which is the real picture. In this regard, we have to advocate for the diversity. The classroom culture of Nepal may be different with the classroom culture of America or china. However, in the process of acculturation, there is always possibility of the formation of new culture so the biodiversity is. In this regard , I want to you make sure that biodiversity is also in the process of hybridization which will be sustain in future as well.

um
1. points of view are never written in stone
2. cultural diversity is a product of diversity
3. subspecies? like what goats?

justification
1. Perspective in theory of cognition is the choice of a context or a reference (or the result of this choice) from which to sense, categorize, measure or codify experience, cohesively forming a coherent belief, typically for comparing with another. One may further recognize a number of subtly distinctive meanings, close to those of paradigm, point of view, reality tunnel, umwelt, or weltanschauung.
2. Cultural diversity is the variety of human societies or cultures in a specific region, or in the world as a whole.
3. In zoology, the scientific name of a subspecies is the binomen followed immediately by a subspecific name, e.g. Homo sapiens sapiens. The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (4th edition, 2000) does not attempt to codify any "infrasubspecific entities" (e.g. human races).

* you feel a thumbs down is justified? maybe your point of view was more concrete than you are willing to acknowledge

We have been doing sucha thing for centuries. Pure breds of a certain culture are so rare that they must either be created or found anew to observe. We keep destroying all mystery and in the process destroy history. We must conserve ourselves and should stay out of foreign culture.
