The first member of Anthropobiota will likely be Mycoplasma laboratorium, at the J. Craig Venter Institute.

The point of Mycoplasma laboratorium is to implement a “minimal bacterial genome”, a jumping-off point for future synthetic species.

All of these species would fall under Anthropobiota, as long as the genetic material is entirely synthetic. If not, that’s just genetic engineering.

Two different species within Anthropobiota need not evolve from other species in the same group. Each one would be created from scratch, by scientists in a lab.
