Re: Creating a (very) cliche world?

I'm pretty sure the normans didn't think the saxons were human. 'Humanity' for the masses is still not universal. Not sure just because you share the same gene pool it makes you mentally the same species.

Also whats the difference between us humans and the other animals that share the planet. Not so good for the cows, sheep and pigs.

Don't forget pretty soon we will have genetically modified cows because someone will be unable to resist implanting a modified cow egg to maturity. Then what? Beef that reportedly tastes like pork. In fact that could be the basis for your origin of the species. Often thought of the idea myself. Yes I know the Island of Dr. Whatever he was called explored this too.
