>last species to actually speciate
>2 million years
Supposing the process is accelerated by elective use of CRISPR, polygenic selection, etc. Is there a way to calculate the relationship between the number of genes artificially altered and the speciation timeline?
>increased population exchanges
>mix genes, not isolate them
Even with extreme stratification? As far as I can tell the thought experiment is based on a scenario similar to the birth of the Varna system in India. Ethnic groups would mix together, but then split into castes that no longer mix with each other.
>avoiding speciation requires very little exchange to avoid a complete genetic drift
How much exchange would be sufficient? Has anyone calculated a percentage for it?
>some future retrospective warriors 2e6 years later use Land to say "Actktsually someone saw this coming"
Lol, I hope archive.is is still around then.
