A genetic criterion for "kind"
The major criterion in determing whether or not two animals are of the same kind can be found in their genomes. Two animals belong to the same kind if their genetic differences can be attributed to simple genetic recombination. If their genetic differences extend beyond what recombination alone is capable of doing, then we know that they are not of the same kind.
