2 beings are of the same species if they can reproduce and have their offspring be of the same species.
This is a very incomplete definition though. For example is every mule a different species or not a species at all? Isn’t a horse also capable of producing children of different “species”? I understand that mules might not be considered a species because they’re sterile. But this ant isn’t reproducing sexually either.
She was essentially cloning males from another species.
The “species” classification system is simplistic, somewhat outdated, and primarily basic model suited for children.
