Lets assume for a minute, that not everyone on here is a STEM brainlet. I would like to propose a philosophy question. With gene tailoring and genetic mutations occurring naturally, at what point would we stop being humans and start being something else?

There is no point. Stop being an anthropocentric cuckfuck you stupid humanist.

Is humanity a mental state? A physical one? At what point did homo-sapiens became distinctively different from neanderthals?

When we cease to be able to create viable offspring when mating with humans.

It's not philosophical it's just fucking grammar you brainlet

think of the ship of theseus, if you don't replace your whole body in one go you'll still technically be a human no matter what.

Taxonomy is a social construct. The point at which, for example, a reptile became a mammal, is irrelevant to the fact theres a big difference between reptiles and mammals today. Evolution is gradual.

Classically, humans would stop being humans once breeding problems occur. Neanderthal man, for example, was a human, and homo erectus was probably human; beyond that, maybe not so much. Though, the common ancestor of chimps and humans might not have difficulties breeding with chimps or humans.

Right!
One gene after another, and nobody would contest that it's still a human.

When we cannot reproduce with modern humans

Should the new man still be called human or something else especially if current humans still exist
