@BryanKrause All coronavirus mutations/variants that causes covid belong to same species? Like there are different humans from different races but we all belong to Homo Sapiens.

@Vikas Broadly yes, all the COVID-19 variants are the same species, though it's important to note that species definitions are somewhat arbitrary, especially among organisms that reproduce asexually. See also the Q&A at biology.stackexchange.com/q/101759/27148

However, human races are not "real" from a biological classification standpoint; they're just based on some minor phenotypic external differences that's are overemphasized culturally by humans. See biology.stackexchange.com/q/14414/27148

👍🏼 Thanks

@364539917 you mean the android from alien movie?

sure

@364539917 Yeah I know. Some say they are between living and non living

like Schrödinger's cat

that's some too advanced stuff for me 😅

my point is they exist on such a tiny scale, that the definitions of biology break down

means you can't apply biology theories fully on them?

yup
