If everyone just kept producing their own species we wouldn't have goddamn evolution.
0/10 headline. Not scientific.
That's not how evolution works. Tiny changes in your offspring doesn't create a totally different species in one generation like that, it takes a long time.
This discovery goes against our understanding of biology and the headline is fine
I think anybody with a reasonable level of understanding of biology realizes that categorization by "species" is not at all precise or objective.
