** From someone who ''is'' a biologist: The definitions of species vary, but at the very least, you tend to need a separate population with which there is little interbreeding before speciation occurs. Therefore, it's ridiculous to claim that the Sensates, who were born out of a normal human population in different places in the world, qualify as a different species. Nothing more than a bad case of ArtisticLicenseBiology at work. Movies sure do like mangling the definition of "species" for various purposes; the Franchise/XMen franchise is guilty of the same thing.
