400 years not enough? keep in mind, "speciation" has been produced in a lab. Either way, you're saying that given enough time a different species of slave would be produced?
lololol
Are you f-ing kidding me? 400 years? That's like 0.0001% of what it takes for a population of complicated organisms like primates are to separate into a separate species (that cannot produce fertile offspring with the "original" species). Homo Sapiens have existed for at least 100 000-250 000 years - what is 400 going to change?
Different races, like Asians, Africans, Causcasians were breeding in isolation from each other for tens of thousands of years - and they're still the same species, because that is nothing on a planet that is 4.5 billion years old... Did you go to school? This is all pretty basic science.
