Subject: species under PhyloCode
How will a species under PhyloCode be defined. If humans and Chimpanzees for instance could produce offspring would they be labeled as one species under PhyloCode? Under the most limited definition of a species it is a group of similar looking organisms that usually mate or form a single culture if their is asexual reproduction for this group. SubSpecies is equivalent to race under this system as it refers to isolation that produces differences that like a family cast on a deserted island would exhibit slight variations but would still be considered human.
