At my company, many of the people who interview you are just people who would be your coworkers, not recruiting/hr specialists. We know how to interview, but we are fundamentally designers or engineers and aren't the final word in the hiring process. Our interview process is based on the team reaching consensus (though some votes count more than others), so I can't answer this type of question. It would make me very uncomfortable to be put on the spot like that.

A better question would be, "Is there anything else I can show you or talk to you about that would help your evaluation?"... I'd be much more likely to give someone a good answer to that.

I did my masters on speciation... There's no such thing as "slight speciation." Speciation either has occurred, or it hasn't. Yes, it can be close, but at that point it still hasn't happened.

The genetic differences in humans are, certainly, the effect of adaption to different environments, drift, mutation, lalala in isolated populations and yes, it's reasonable to assume if these populations had remained isolated for longer than they did, one might have seen different species. This didn't happen. Human races are all one species the way that dog breeds are all one species.

Since this seems to be causing confusion: I am not drawing any parity between breeds of dogs and races of humans beyond that they are two examples of groups of phenotypicly distinct individuals who are all the same species. I am not saying breeds of dogs and races of humans are exactly the same. Chill out.

My husband and I have the exact same arrangement. He keeps telling me he's happy to do it 24/7.
