( This is a re-post from talk.origins)
 While I was at a party at a science fiction convention in San Diego a
few years ago, I met a woman who claimed some knowledge of human genetics.
She said that the human race was close to speciation; 
as I remember, her evidence was that persons of pure Eskimo ancestry 
cannot produce normal children by persons of pure Australian aboriginal
ancestry. 
 Was she right, or am I misquoting her? I think her point in using these
two ethnic groups is that both have been isolated for many generations.
 If anyone has any references I could read, I'd appreciate it! I have 
a technical background (MSEE), but no bio except high school frog 
torturing and reading Stephan Jay Gould.
