Brought to you by the moment that spacetime began.
For example, one might say black and white are races, but are they like Pug and Boston Terrier?

No. Races, breeds, forms, varieties, and cultivars all sit below the species and subspecies ranks.(They're not recognized by international taxonomic codes.) As Gjallarhorn said, they're variations of Homo sapiens, or Homo sapiens sapiens.The Sum of Awe said:Are Races of Humans like Sub-Species of Non-Humans?
I asked my science teacher, and he told me Apes, Monkeys, Chimps, and other primates are those sub-species.
Chimps are a subspecies of human? Well, the human species is looking better already.
Not humans, humans are a subspecies themselves, in the primate family. I worded it wrong.
And hehehehe.
We can't test it because it's not an ethical experiment, so...to be determined?I think sub-species are supposed to be able to interbreed.
I'm pretty sure humans are to chimps what a lion is to a cat. Ie/ not sub-species.
Primates are an order - one taxonomic rank above family. Humans (homo sapiens) form a species. Modern humans (homo sapiens sapiens) are often considered a different sub-species from certain other extinct humans (e.g. Neanderthals, as Skwim's graph points out).Not humans, humans are a subspecies themselves, in the primate family. I worded it wrong.
