A species is a lineage that has a distinct evolutionary fate from other lineages.
The so-called species concepts (biological, phenetic, phylogenetic, ecological etc.) are not definitions but diagnostic approaches or algorithms for how to identify the appropriate lineages at the appropriate scale.

hey biology bsky, i'm crowdsourcing for a slide in class. reply to this with your best attempt to succinctly but comprehensively define the concept of "species" in a single skeet.

Maya incensario lid from the Chorcha tomb in Temple 26, Copan, Honduras. Dating to the 7th century CE, it represents one of 11 ancestral rulers. By placing these seated figures at the tomb, the 12th ruler K'ahk' Uti' Witz' K'awiil sought to legitimize his own power and royal lineage.

And I am so, so, so unbelievably fucking proud of my daughter. Her art brings a kind of warm, maternal pride to my heart that I never imagined I'd be able to feel. Thank you, truly, and I'd like to think you're proud of me, too, and our little lineage.

it's a slightly different lineage of alignment, but Kannehman literally blurbed Stuart Russell's "Human Compatable," a book which itself is a skinnerian hellbox.

I hate species concepts as much as anyone else, but the likely answer is that it’s context dependent what might count as a species in one lineage might not count as a species in another lineage…

We strongly believe our lineage has been socially monogamous for a long time because even pretty early in our lineage (e.g. Australopithecus) we find reduced sexual dimorphism and remains of groups suggesting 50/50 gender splits instead of "one adult male, many adult females"

what happened to jason arday, e.g., is absolutely a consequence of the scientific racism that developed in order to justify whites owning and disposing of other human beings. a figure like cofnas is in that direct lineage.

My very pragmatic answer is: "an independently evolving lineage that reproduces predominantly within itself, and shows distinct seperation from other lineages in one or more non-genetic traits. The more of these secondary traits show clear divergence, the more confident you can be."
