“BUT, BUT, BUT HUMANS ARE ONLY X% DIFFERENT FROM CHIMPS, AND LESS SO FROM EACH OTHER!!”
This argument is a false equivalency (statistical observation) because not all genetic composition is equal in impact.

Humans differentiate from apes largely by extraordinary neotenic evolution. We don’t know the scope of those genes that produce human neoteny.

It’s also pretty obvious that we WERE spectating – but that the primary utility of neoteny and intelligence is extraordinary adaptation by mere changes in behavior in response to the conditions of the environment.

So while most species are particular in reproduction, humans, especially human males will adapt to ‘using anything with a hole’ so to speak, which of course, resists speciation without geographic isolation. 😉
