Do all humans on this planet belong to the same species?
The billions of human beings living today all belong to one species: Homo sapiens. The DNA of all human beings living today is 99.9\% alike.
Why is there only one species of human left on the planet today?
“We have a huge brain that we need to nourish, as such we need many resources and as a result a lot of territory. Homo sapiens experienced a vast demographic expansion and it is very likely that competition for territory was too hard for the rest of the species,” says Detroit.
What type of person human species are we considered as today?
The species that you and all other living human beings on this planet belong to is Homo sapiens. During a time of dramatic climate change 300,000 years ago, Homo sapiens evolved in Africa.
What species does every person on the planet belong to?
All people living today belong to the species Homo sapiens.

Will there be a new human species?
The only realistic scenario for the evolution of two species out of ours would probably be if we expanded beyond our home planet and then lost contact with the settlers. If both populations survived long enough – much more than 100,000 years – we might see divergence and maybe two species of humans.
Are there any other species of human left?
Nine human species walked the Earth 300,000 years ago. Now there is just one. The Neanderthals, Homo neanderthalensis, were stocky hunters adapted to Europe’s cold steppes. The related Denisovans inhabited Asia, while the more primitive Homo erectus lived in Indonesia, and Homo rhodesiensis in central Africa.
How many human species exist today?
It was the hominin group where our shared ancestor with Chimpanzee separated. Considering our last common ancestor split 6 million to 7 million years ago, it must have been a very diverse group then. According to Smithsonian, there are 21 recognised human species.
Why can’t we sort humans into subspecies like animals?
There is only one “race”—the human race. So why can’t we sort humans into subspecies like we can with other animals? The answer is that the human species doesn’t have much genetic variation. We are too alike to split into groups.
Do humans have similarities with everything else in nature?
“Obviously we have similarities. We have similarities with everything else in nature; it would be astonishing if we didn’t. But we’ve got to look at the differences,” says Ian Tattersall, a paleoanthropologist at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, US.
Is the human race a subspecies?
No! Races are not subspecies of the human species. There is only one “race”—the human race. So why can’t we sort humans into subspecies like we can with other animals? The answer is that the human species doesn’t have much genetic variation.
What happened to the Reptilians who did not ascend?
Many of those Reptilians who chose not to ascend came to earth and further hybridized into genetic leaches of human DNA. Their aim was to co-create a new race with humans, but this intention has gone haywire.
