I kinda view the different species as "races" rather
than "species", for the most part. Just as human races have great
diversity, but a core makeup, so too could the anthros. There are
only about 50-60 anthro races existing (many have since died off, I'm
sure).
Perhaps mankind was yet another of these species that died off?
Maybe he just couldn't cut the mustard, so to say. Perhaps his
evolution wasn't specialized enough or fast enough to keep up with
the others?
