Gotta say, whilst I do find taxonomy interesting and I get that it is an imperfect system designed to convey a simplified version of reality, there's a point at which it always seems to descend into arguments. After all, species and subspecies are constantly changing - at what point might we say the arctic wolf is no longer a subspecies but a separate species? Problem with taxonomy is that once it has been decided it becomes hard to change it. In the world of the anthropecene where barriers to interbreeding are as likely to be man made as natural it starts to get difficult.
