Humans don’t have subspecies, chimpanzees have four.

It’s actually super racist where the term troglodytes comes from. Back before it was accepted that different species went extinct, when Europeans found old fossils of extinct hominins, they thought that there were still ape men walking around somewhere. So they went searching through Ethiopia and Indonesia for troglodytes. But now we just call chimpanzees troglodytes. Europeans really wanted to find chimp people and were buying and selling people they thought looked a little strange in the hopes of being the first to discover a real troglodyte. It’s like the most retarded thing ever.

Now to their credit, they eventually figured it out that ape like human ancestors that walked upright lived and died millions of years ago. But it went through a goofy phase where they literally thought they were out there in the forest somewhere.

Back in the day, Europeans wanted to create a hierarchy of the world where there’s something between human and apes. The reasoning comes from the great chain of being which is an old medieval interpretation of Christianity that was originally used to justify the rigid social hierarchy of the time with the aristocracy at the top. The idea was God was in heaven and perfect, beneath God there was the monarch, then the aristocracy, then the peasants, and beneath them animals, with demons and the devil at the bottom. Which is just a bunch of religious nonsense. The closest thing to humans is a chimpanzee a there’s nothing alive today in the middle there’s 7 million years of distance between hominins (the lineage that led to humans) and panins (the lineage that led to chimpanzees) since that’s how long ago we split off. There used to be several subspecies of the genus Homo but every single one of them died us except for us, the sapiens. Every other theory that involves some hierarchy is just pseudo-scientific junk.

The thing about Chimpanzees though, is we aren’t more evolved than they are. Their environment just optimized them for different traits than humans. They’re not as intelligent as humans, but they’re still far more intelligent than any other type of animal and they’re capable of understanding language to a greater extent than any animal other than human if they’re trained to. They’re also 4 to 5 times stronger than a human is and they spend most of their time during the day inactive. Which makes them incredibly dangerous. The fact that they’re intelligent and can understand concepts like unfairness makes them unpredictable and they can coordinate group violence.
