You keep telling me what the definition of species is not.
All I'm asking is for you to tell me what the definition of species *is*.


Also, just as an aside, I'm not sure that the behavior of the fruit flies 
isn't genetic. I didn't see anything in any of the descriptions I've read 
where the scientists later tried to do artificial insemination to see if it 
worked. You're jumping to conclusions that because there's only 16 
generations between the two sets of fruit flies that it isn't enough to 
cause a genetic incompatibility.

No, I never said anything like that.
