Nah, just a gripe with taxonomy.
All descendants of ourselves will be human, because the term "human" refers to the genus, not the species. Much already -has- changed since the appearance of the genus, and will continue to do so. The fact that we might persist in calling ourselves "humans" as we further diverge (assuming we do..and that both groups survive to need a name for each other......) simply does not speak to any accrued disparity..or the lack thereof.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
