All nucleic acid sequences are related eventually. HIV is highly polyphyletic, with each group more related to corresponding SIV than HIVs
So HIV is a human-centric category, and "types" of virus are particularly confusing to our already nebulous species categories?
I always thought of phylogenetics as an excellent alternative to qabala in exhausting the initiate's capacity for classification.
Once you correctly and completely grasp the emptiness of 'species', you will have achieved enlightenment, or at least a powerful headache.
Yeah, but it's not empty, it's a great example of nebulous. Any idiot can see there are types of plant and animal.
One way to understand the apparent discreteness of species is that history keeps us from seeing test cases side by side. Usually extinct.
'Empty' as I'm using it means 'there's nothing of independent substance to the concept beyond this or that actually existing population'.
Yes, but evolution is all in the context of historical accident. And sparse pop structure happens again and again. The origin of species...
yes yes I'm aware. I study phylogenetics trees for fun. I'm saying there is no Platonic Form of Gorilla, just genotypes rolling downhill
My pet peeve is "invasive species". We are all invasive species, humans especially.
