Because we did, of course, do it. Our human ancestors mated—probably quite happily—with our cousins, the Neanderthals. And according to new research, doing the deed with another species was not only perfectly fine and dandy for us—it also resulted in us having better immunity. And according to researchers, not only did it help, it was actually critical to our survival. We are able to cope with modern day viruses because of this activity.
We are not the only inter-species breeders, of course; many may have heard of the liger (yes, Napoleon Dynamite’s favorite animal), the whalfin, and many other animals whom resulted from inter-species sex.
Now, I’m sure our ancestors didn’t have our modern survival and ability to ward off disease in mind when they were seeking to satiate their carnal pleasures; mating was much simpler back then, I am sure. Hopefully they were in love, but who knows? Maybe it was arranged, or not even consensual. But if their coupling had this much meaning regarding our own DNA today, imagine what the unions that are so heavily opposed could do to affect the DNA of our progeny.
Think about it—all of the gay families able to adopt together and raise stronger, happier children than the ones who’d otherwise be stuck in an orphanage. All of the colorful families with mixed traditions and loving acceptance of everyone rather than the close-mindedness that led us to the hatred that fills our country—even in the homes of our own leaders!—today. Could interracial couples and gay families save our future just as inter-species sex might have saved us all from the common virus?
You might think that I’m making a stretch here, but I think the answer is yes. The more we adapt, the more we grow and change and help one another, the better we are. Remember, Darwin’s studies about evolution did not simply translate to survival of the fittest, as many people would simply state—but the survival of those best able to adapt. And right now, Congress and a good portion of Americans are prohibiting that adaptability by trying to keep us all living in the fifties—which is not only the opposite of progress but also evolution itself.
And please don't think I am akining interracial and homosexual couples with inter-species; I am simply saying if we can accept inter-species mating within our own bloodlines, then there certainly should be no barriers to ANY people of the same human species mating! These barriers are ridiculous either way.
These people are directly inhibiting our ability to adapt and survive! Of course, you could add environmental concerns and the unsustainable lifestyle we’ve adopted to this equation as well. Perhaps these impeders of progress could do well to study sex with Neanderthals, for both their own good as well as our own.
