    They are the same species by the scientific definition. The meaning of the word “species” has become diluted over time as it was adopted by more people and misused, just like all language.

      Seems there there is very much a debate about it and they are either considered seperate species, subspecies or a single one.

          My point exactly. Which makes this post (and some of the comment) asserting that it’s certainly a single species quite confusing. Seems it’s quite far from certain.
