What is a species but a mutation of another one? Let's not forget most definitions of "species" are tenuous at best. The natural world is not so easily categorized.

"Species" vs a gene mutation is pretty well defined for mammals, it's usually obscure lifeforms like microscopic worms and bacteria where that term might be less useful.
