Good point!

cept you can breed a terrier with a german shepard.
not sure about chimpy human

AFAIK you can't (*shudders at the thought*).

Chimps have 24 chromosome pairs, humans 23.

It's pretty amazing if you think about the variety of dogs on earth (a PBS special on this subject caught my attention awhile back).

So what has caused the human race to split into only a handful of "races" and not more distinct "sub-races"?

Can you imagine a world where we have 100 different races?

Or am I just being retarded this morning.......

The blindingly stupid answer is that youre blind.

This statement is not correct. We are equally evolved, but just in a different direction, for different reasons.

As others have said, I'd imagine it's a result of selective breeding and short lifespan
