this is retarded how would goblins ever form this is loving stupid. Of course the upper echelon is the smart and beautiful and the filthy proles are loving moron subhumans yes. Yeah it's genetics
it would just be like the middle ages where the upper echelon slowly obliterates itself via inbreeding

a thousand years later, brave humans will travel the galaxy looking for new species of humans to gently caress.

that basically just comes down to whether they can make fertile babies, doesn't it? if homo titius can make babies with homo sapiens then they're still the same species, if they can't they're not.

"species" is not well-defined

e: for instance here's just one of many biological phenomena that makes that narrow idea of speciation insufficient

Homo Goonius Gooni in its natural environment. Pictured is mating behavior, the one period during which multiple individuals will gather in a single techcave


Homo Opus Crearet and a colony of Homo Welfarus


Over millennia of common isolation from other niches, Homo Larpens and Homo Vulpes Yiifii have formed a close symbiotic dependency

Actually op humanity will split into many species as we slowly colonize the galaxy and the various populations become isolated from one another and engage in genetic tailoring to better suit their environments.

I like this because it's the only way we'll get Star Trek aliens that are basically humans but with one weird trait and have a human culture except a bit obsessed with one human thing.

But then the real aliens will find us and they'll be these weird worms or something and will wipe us out.
