^ Isn't that the same thing as how humans developed into different ethnic groups? (Asian, african, european, native american, etc...)

As I see it, the slimes aren't split into multiple subspecies, they are just the same species, formed by the circumstances of their surroundings. (Poison = Green slimes. Nectar = Pink slimes. Pollution = Black slimes. Water = Blue slimes...)

They're still one and the same species. One and the same specimen. (and if this is denied, then see the example above, would you call humanity´s ethnical groups seperate species as well? It's the same thing as with the slimes here.)

The mind of the specimen however is as diverse as someone with a DID (Dissoactive Identity Disorder), And the outcome if someone experienced a different path in life than the one they took. Slimes are basically capable of experiencing all these different paths all at once through their splitting, developing into parallel alternate versions of a single person.

The slimes would still be a single speciment species.

Just because "9 / 3 = 3" in the slime diversion process, it doesn't change that it started of as "9" from the get go...especially as "3 + 3 = 9" when it comes to the slime fusion process.
