No......But it isn't true considering our pretend population...If it were true it could NOT be a new species and therefore nothing speciated to begin with....How can you not see this?
Can you not also see how non-scientific, illogical and arbitrary this all is? You guys just make it up as you go, it seems. |
For the color spectrum
Blue is 450-495 nanometers in wavelength.
Green is 495-570 nanometers in wavelength.
Is it your contention that light of 494 nanometers is 100% with no green appearance at all?
We don't make it up. But AS I SAID ALREADY, the distinctions between species/colors/anything that is a continuum is ARBITRARY.
Perhaps you could ask Lou about the mass confusion in the birding world right now because the entire lineage of birds is undergoing massive changes as more and more data becomes available.
Yes, we see how illogical it is. But there's no other way to do it. There is no other way to declare where blue ends and green begins except to say "Here". There is no way to say where species A ends and closely related species 2 begins (provided that they are so closely related that they are still interbreeding at least occasionally).
Welcome to the real world. You've just figured out what the scientific community has known since BEFORE Darwin.
