No argument here.Yeah, but a lot of those tools and tech have very quickly done serious damage to the habitat.
Plastic, radioactivity, pollution of all kinds, fishing the oceans out, transferring species to different environments and destroying them both accidentally and intentionally, etc.
We're one species which consume and devastate everything in our midst.
LOL yes, go swimming in the ocean and the claim of top of the food chain wears a bit thin, LOLNo argument here.
My only point is that I don't believe we are a true Apex. Every other Apex evolved to be such in their physical incarnation and are completely self sufficient.
Man essentially puts on an Apex suit using technology, take away the suit or the possibility of one and we become essentially low hanging fruit ready to be picked.
A man with a gun is fucking dangerous, a man without a gun is a snack.
I'm sorry you considered it sarcastic and rude, the way I read your own words sounded very much like you were suggesting using dog sperm as a safer contraceptive with fewer side effects than the current contraceptive pill. So I merely was pointing out the real world issues with turning such an idea into reality in a legitimate way. That was tested and proven to work, so could actually be relied upon to work for women.daam... you went from being funny and nice to being over sarcastic and rude
this is a theoratical conversation --- who said anything about starting a research about this?
1. who said anything about swallowing dog sperm? we were talking about flooding the vagina and obviously we are talking about zooactive people here and not regular people
2. the replacement i was talking about to contraceptives wasnt the dog sperm and not by swallowing --- it was about finding a non human (and far enough geneticly) sperm that has the ZP2 like humans so it can help make eggs waste themsevles by starting a false pregnancy
I see those all the time.a furry little human with a tail and pointy ears, could be cute, lol
Sometimes the barrier is external, eg geography.Yes. You are both correct here. But both examples are within the same species , I mentioned horses and donkeys, but not cows and buffalo.
Canis and bovinus.
I'm pretty sure too you can add Yaks and Water Buffalo and Oxen to ranks that can be cross-bred with cows as well. It would most likely take lab conditions due to size differences, but you could also add Chihuahua and Wolf to the list of animals in the cross-breeding possibles as well. For that matter, Teacup Poodles
To piggyback off of @SxaBeast linked material, I type hybrid biology into the search bar and got the following page.
Hybrid (biology) - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
And below, from the above link, I lifted via cut and paste the entire 2nd paragraph from that page.
Species are reproductively isolated by strong barriers to hybridisation, which include genetic and morphological differences, differing times of fertility, mating behaviors and cues, and physiological rejection of sperm cells or the developing embryo. Some act before fertilization and others after it. Similar barriers exist in plants, with differences in flowering times, pollen vectors, inhibition of pollen tube growth, somatoplastic sterility, cytoplasmic-genic male sterility and the structure of the chromosomes. A few animal species and many plant species, however, are the result of hybrid speciation, including important crop plants such as wheat, where the number of chromosomes has been doubled.
In my cut and paste, the bolding is NOT mine, but represents Hot Links from that page to those specific topics.
There is also plenty of circumstantial and recently, physical evidence of Modern Human and Neanderthal hybridization/cross-breeding.
Further, if you follow such information, you may have seen speculation in recent years after the discovery of fully intact Mammoth remains in Siberia of reviving the Mammoth species. Though if I remember correctly, the talk wasn't primarily of hybridizing but of straight up geneticly replacing the DNA in an elephant egg with Mammoth DNA and using an Elephant cow to bring the revived Mammoth baby to term. I didn't dig down into the technology of that but that's the general gist of it.
I wouldn't mind a big floofy tail and pointy soft ears but they were all out of stock when I was getting made.a furry little human with a tail and pointy ears, could be cute, lol
Cow and buff arent same species or even genus.Yes. You are both correct here. But both examples are within the same species , I mentioned horses and donkeys, but not cows and buffalo.

its not a dicussion about impregnation (or atleast didnt start as one) --- its about the ability of non human sperm to act as a contraceptiveGreat discussion! Great fantasy, impregnation by an animal, not even by a primate, unfortunately biologically impossible.
we/ Genetic science knows just enough about genetic gene splicing to be VERY dangerous. in my opinion it should ALL be banned until more is known about it and it's possible effes
I'm sure I've seen a movie about that, an alien species want the earth so they just introduce human pesticide to clear out the pesky hairless apes before they move in.I attended a week long seminar on this very subject, it is possible to unleash a viral pathogen that could be totally detrimental to the human species as a whole, VERY dangerous territory
many of you didnt say the same thing.... some here just cursed the OP and everyone else --- thats not explanationI'm sorry you considered it sarcastic and rude, the way I read your own words sounded very much like you were suggesting using dog sperm as a safer contraceptive with fewer side effects than the current contraceptive pill. So I merely was pointing out the real world issues with turning such an idea into reality in a legitimate way. That was tested and proven to work, so could actually be relied upon to work for women.
From that I merely pointed out the process that would need to be gone through to get to that point and how difficult a journey it would be. And that nobody who is serious about birth control zoo or not should be rolling the dice with using another species semen to try and short circuit human conception processes.
As for the swallowing part, that was nothing more than word play, it was not a serious statement.
However you've missed the point a lot of people have been making to you. A sperm from another species is not going to get past the combined ZP3 and ZP2 locking mechanism to even have the chance to do anything useful to damage the human egg. Or cause a false pregnancy as you were putting it. That discussion or theorising is pretty much a dead end without genetic manipulation to force the scenario.
Which is why I stated I had wasted enough of my time on the thread as you seemed to be living in a dream trying to make an idea possible even though so many of us were telling you pretty much the same thing, it was not a thing that could happen. But peace dude.
Yes, that was the original point I made, and why I agreed with what you said. If you don't have that, there is no possibility of any kind of compatibility.Cow and buff arent same species or even genus.
They have different chromosome numbersYes, that was the original point I made, and why I agreed with what you said. If you don't have that, there is no possibility of any kind of compatibility.
EDIT: Sorry, I misread that response. Same Family and sub Family. Donkeys and horses are different in this same way, I think?
They do. Still the same family and sub family though. I'm not entirely sure, but I think Us and Neanderthals also have a differing amount of chromosomes as well. I *think* I read that somewhere but I'd have to look to see if that's true.They have different chromosome numbers
Both in the Equus genus, different species.EDIT: Sorry, I misread that response. Same Family and sub Family. Donkeys and horses are different in this same way, I think?
Yes, just looked up the chromosomes. I know they inter-bred, I couldn't remember if the chromosomes were the same number.we modern humans and Neanderthals did cross breed, we are both Hominids, in fact people with a European ancestry have up to 20% neanderthal gene sets in their collective genome we modern humans Cro-Magnons- neanderthal > all 23 pairs of chromosomes.
I agree. Life, in general, is too highly specialized to really allow these types of inconsistencies.Both in the Equus genus, different species.
Classification is nice, but sort of fluid in that it is sometimes wrong snd needs to be corrected.
If animals related only on family level are able to interbreed. Well, it IS possible, but are likely more closely related than presently attributed.
I wont be surprised if one day they change them to Bos bison...
No. the ZP proteins are still species specific. They are 'similar' enough to be cataloged as ZP1, ZP2, ZP3, etc... but they are not the same cross species. Gene expression differences between species make for differing behaviors between the ZP proteins and how they behave and what they will interact with.is there any animal with ZP2? if they do , that could start and egg to start a developing process but collapse due to different DNA?
Since covid, I no longer think of this as a likely doomsday scenario. Covid was very contagious, yet to this day the number of total cases is less than 10% of the world population... even with a 100% mortality rate, that wouldn't be enough to cause societal breakdown. Not to mention killing the host reduces the chance for a disease to spread, and you can be damn sure humans would take such a deadly disease way more seriously than even covid.I attended a week long seminar on this very subject, it is possible to unleash a viral pathogen that could be totally detrimental to the human species as a whole, VERY dangerous territory
