IF what Gaetz is saying is correct, it would mean that the aliens aren't actually aliens at all, but another branch of humanity from right here on Earth. Most likely. The other option would be a genetics experiment that would take generations of gene splicing, chimera stabilization, etc to produce an entirely new species.

Lemme start by saying what Gaetz is saying is not correct.

I agree with the rest though, we’d have more luck hybridizing with a mushroom than any extra terrestrial with which we don’t share a common ancestor.

Artemis IV is currently planned to be the lunar landing mission, not Artemis III

They were "human" in the sense that they were homo,

---

That’s literally the definition of “human.” I admit I’m just arguing minutia here though. Colloquially, human refers to extant Homo sapiens sapiens, but when we’re talking about breeding/interbreeding of species, I feel like we should try and be as technically precise with language as possible. Homo sapiens interbred with other human hominids only.

---

Also, they are not a subspecies of homosapiens. They are homo neanderhalensis.

---

I only said they were sometimes classified as a subspecies. That seems to be out of favor now, though. I agree they were a different species, but they were clearly closely related enough to interbreed. It’s a good example of how our desire to place things neat little categories breaks down when you zoom in.

Biology is fuzzy.

I’m not a huge fan of the bfro but all you jabronis mentioning “one hasn’t been hit by a car” go read their sighting log. More than half of the reported sightings now are almost all from people driving.

---

This makes the fact that one hasn’t been hit by a car even worse for the cryptid lovers.

People aren’t seeing what they think they’re seeing. They aren’t lying, eyewitnesses are just notoriously unreliable.

The poster said they couldn't even fathom a reason why a scientist would do it that way.

He said well respected scientist. Important distinction.

I simply cannot fathom why a well respected scientist would do this.

Gee, I wonder. I broke physics, trust me, bro.

Where OP goes wrong is it lacks context and it ends up being misleading.

That’s intentional

I already got off, isn’t that what we were doing? I do want some beers tho.

Speaking of, how’s your wife been doing? Her tailbone still broken from our last visit?

No, she’s grown a full on tail now. Her balance is impeccable though, so I guess thanks?
