When Species Names Are Offensive, Should They Be Changed?

If we change the names of genes because of MS Excel why not change names to make the world a little less awful for some people as well.

If someone is offended by a specie name, they should change. Visit a psychologist, perhaps.

Fascinating article. I'm not in favor of changing names attributed to those who discovered the organism, but anything named after another person is fair play. Obviously this is an overly simple hot take.

Aside: my late grandmother's use of a certain colloquial term for Brazil Nuts kept going through my head. I'm glad to have not heard it since she passed.

Probably lots of birds. Anything with “tit” or “breast(ed)” might be illegal to teach about in Florida.

Yes. I suggest we change homo sapiens sapiens to something else. It doesn't really apply either.
