    It's really just like real life. We (us and our pets) all come from the same species, if you go back far enough.

    Basically, common ancestry, right? I mean, I think that the term, man, and etc in FFXIV is simply just a political designation to differentiate themselves from the "beastmen" which in itself is also a discriminatory social construct to differentiate from the Spoken or Men.

    It is like real life but that isn't why.

    It's not about ancestry but about speciation now. A more relevant real life example is how all domestic dogs, regardless of breed, and wolves, are the same species. Likewise, many cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, kale, brussels sprouts, etc) are the same species. In both cases there are vast differences between the various breeds or cultivars.
