Sorry about the deleted reply, accidentally replied to some other thread with something completely unrelated.

And also sorry for the wikipedia link, but it's one that isn't monitored by SJW\s and is basically accurate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_%28biology%29

Essentially, it's a level of differentiation even lower than subspecies. It's kind of the first step in actual genetic species separation. Generally speaking, species cannot interbreed, but races can.

Think of it like dog breeds. A chihuahua and a mastiff are the same species, but you would never in a million years expect that to be true if you didn't know anything about them. They appear to be more different than dogs and wolves (which is a poor example since dogs and wolves are one of the exceptions to cross-species breeding, but you get the point), but they are not. The genetic differences are almost literally just skin deep.

If, hypothetically, man had never domesticated dogs and we were to discover a chihuahua and a mastiff out in the wild, biologists would most likely refer to them as subspecies and dogs that are closer to each other in size and geographical distribution as races, e.g. Shiba Inu and Akitas are very similar but for coloration and size, so they would probably be referred to as races and not subspecies.

This does apply to humans, but not in any way remotely resembling the way it is applied today. The human "race" is actually a single species with only three distinct anthropological races: Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid. We can all easily interbreed and the distinctions get muddy, but in more insular societies, you can clearly see the physical differences and they do carry through. There's a reason actual black africans all have a distinct feature set, that asian people can't grow big thick beards and are generally shorter, that white people have round eyes, etc. The distinctions are even distinct enough that anthropologists can identify a skeleton's race.

Interestingly, we can also use this information to determine where populations originally came from. For example, inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent, despite being located directly between Negroid and Mongoloid populations, are actually Caucasoid, despite having very dark skin and hair.

This is made very obvious when they lose that coloration, as in this Indian family who are all albino. They look Swedish. Or maybe they are just clones of Jim Gaffigan and it's a giant conspiracy.

At any rate, nearly all species have races, including Homo sapiens, they are not anything like what people portray them to be, and race is in fact a scientific reality completely divorced from culture and the dumbass media.
