if that’s true then that’s mean that there must be a galatic version of pornhub in the DB universe

    Really it just implies humans and sayians share (relatively) recent common descent.

    H. Sapiens and H. Neanderthalensis could interbreed, but possibly had some difficulties, starting to speciate at 500k-800k+ years of genetic seperation.

    But Lions and tigers can still interbreed and female ligers are even fertile, and that’s at like 3.8m years of seperation.

    All of this means that Sayians probably share descent from at least Australopiths like the famous Lucy. They could share descent from something as recent as H. Erectus, or maybe they diverged from a sister lineage to Homo like Paranthropus.

      I personally think it’s just that Saiyans can mate with anything that makes stronger kids

      Which opens up the possibility of a contemporary reboot where humans CRISPR in saiyan genes in order to gain their (potential for) powers.

    Saiyans and homo sapiens obviously have the same ape ancestor so it’s very unsurprising that they’d be able to procreate together. Namekians for example are on a different evolutionary branch and probably too distant from homo sapiens or Saiyans.

    But also I’d be interested to hear why the ability to make offspring with each other would be a necessary prerequisite for an interspecies pornhub.

    Edit2: this keeps bothering me so I’m going to put this here, passive-aggressively: Saiyan, it’s spelt Saiyan, not Sayian. The Japanese name saiya-jin is the Japanese word yasai (vegetables) in reverse (plus the suffix jin for “people”). Just sayian’.
