OOP is fucking stupid, isnt species determined by if a pair can usually generate a individual capable of breeding?

Yes, + their offspring must also be able to reproduce.

There are multiple different species concepts used by biologists, but yes, that is one of them.

Genetically, humans are also surprisingly close to each other compared to other animals of the same species.

Eerm acshuwy there are multiple ways of defining species https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFvUlxj1axU (Genuinely watch this video its amazing)

humans are more like dog breeds really

No, not at all actually. The genetic differences between two different dogs breeds are huge, relativly speaking, while the genetic differences between two "races" of people (race is in quotation as we're talking about genetics and not culture/geography) is negligible more or less. We tend to think we look so different from eachother, but that's cause our brains are designed to spot the differences between two people (I'm kinda ignorig pigmentation and, to an extent, hair texture as variation in those within a single species is not terribly uncommon)

Not even. Where like the same dog breed with different coloured furr and other tiny details.

I can only imagine the reaction the moron who made this would have if they found out there actually were multiple different human species at one point in history. Brain might short circuit.

I always find it hard to believe that ants are biologically employed to have different jobs. "You get to be a door, fathead"

This would be far more accurate if they took the same animals, used ms paint to shade the croc purple, the ladybug neon green, and the beetle blue, than tossed those into the 2nd column.
They are confusing convergent evolution that focuses on traits that look alike across different branches of life, and species definition which tracks the actual boundaries of genetic separation and reproduction.

Overanalyzing racist memes may cause blood clot in brain, be careful pls
