ansuz / ऐरन<p>I've found all the discourse about Colossal Biosciences "Dire wolf" announcement very annoying, because it seems like a lot of the exchanges have been between a bunch of pedantic nerds and what is probbaly Colossal's marketing/public-outreach department. </p><p>Honestly, I think both camps are wrong in their own way, and it's turning into more of a shouting match than anything.</p><p>The core problem is that there are many different definitions of species, none of which are perfect, and almost all of them cease to be meaningful in cases where horizontal gene transfer occurs.</p><p><a href="https://social.cryptography.dog/tags/direWolf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>direWolf</span></a> <a href="https://social.cryptography.dog/tags/colossal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colossal</span></a> <a href="https://social.cryptography.dog/tags/biology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biology</span></a></p>
