> the whole-cloth creation of multiple species

While it might appear that humans “create species,” this is a mistake. 

> Species are the fundamental taxonomic unit of evolutionary biology.  Species have fully intrinsic essences and, thus, are natural kinds (of sorts), allowing that species aren’t categorically distinct. 

> The MCSC [mitonuclear compatibility species concept] says that “a species is a population that is genetically isolated from other populations by incompatibilities in uniquely coadapted mt and NO-mt genes.”
