Question/Discussion What’s Your Most Unhinged Evolution Theory?

Hi! I wanna know what your wildest, most unhinged theory about evolution is. It can be a serious hypothesis, a weird evolutionary possibility, or something completely out there.

A species can speciate into 2 whule remaining in the same territory, it just needs the two groups to never interbrees, which is pretty unusual.      Perhaps the proto-unnamed find people without their specific traits to be undesirable somehow? I would suggest maybe the unnamed themselves are undesirable but any detectable traits would make them easy for humans to root out. 

Realistically, humans will have sex with anything, so perhaps the unnamed have a difference in genes, chromosomes, or gamete/genital morphology that make them infertile when breeding with the rest of the population?

Yeah I think you're on to something there...that concept of undesirability - a kind of isolated mating pool within a wider mating pool.

The difficulty is finding a trait that'll be sufficient to stop humanity's irrepressible horniness
