When the Sea Devils rise again, they’re not monsters – they’re Homo Aqua.

      They’re related to the Silurians, aka homo reptilia, so I would suggest that ship sailed quite some time ago.

    I have no problem with them existing but I wouldn’t let my daughter marry one that’s for sure

    This is just RTD being RTD, and I should ignore it. But it sent me on a wikipedia rabbit hole,

    If we’re being pendantic that wouldn’t be “racist”, it would be “speciesist”,as race in biology refers to subspecies differences, not species-level, which is what the aqua/sapiens distinction means.

    Also, if we’re being inclusive implying that homo aqua are not “sapient”, i.e. intelligent, seems about as insulting as calling them devils.

    Totally unrelated, but I learned that from the latin genus name, you can refer to the chimpanzee tribe as “Panini”, which is fun.
