Subject: Question about Halo Cryptum

I cap fools.

I'm pretty far in, but I'm confused by something. Are there different "species" of human? Or am I just crazy?

Define "species". In your opinion.

I think it's like different races, but they called them sub-species? Not too sure about that. I also would like to know.

They're like breeds in dogs.

They existed in real life once; Sapien is the only surviving human breed to this day, but creatures like the Florian that Riser is, amongst others mentioned, actually existed in real life.

That makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.

(To discuss Halo 4.)

Yes, they are different sub species under the genus Hom o (it is a legitimate word in this case, our species genus, man, let is pass this time, please...!), such as -blam!- Erectus, -blam!- Sapiens etc.

That is in real life, Cryptum has its own examples.

The story of Cryptum has the theme of The Tower of Babel, where God punished man for their hubris by turning them from one unified people to many people of different languages and nationalities.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Have you never studied anthropology?

As others have said, it's just different subspecies.

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

So humanity is united, and NOT trying to kill each other, and god says "lol nope!" and f's us over. What a douche. (In the context of the story, not sparking a debate)

Kingdom: Animal
Pylum: Chordate
Class: Mammal
Order: Primate
Family: Hominid
Tribe: Hominin (or something. I can't really remember)
Genus: -blam!-
Species: Sapiens
Subspecies: whatever

Originally there were just the normal humans (-blam!- sapiens) but the Forerunners 'devolved' them and basically split them up into all these different subspecies. An example of two different subspecies in real life are Zebras and Horses. An example in the Halo Universe are the Jackals and Skirmishers.

There were more. Didact says he remembers the Florians, for example.
