Born Hunter 17,832 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) If humans were reclassified ,,in to subspecies ,,,,wich ethnic group,,would be the species,,,,and which, would be sub? There wouldn't be a dominant one mate, either a species is completely made up by two or more subspecies or it doesn't have any and is just ranked as a species.

J Darcy 5,871 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Scottish wildcat = Felis silvestris Domestic cat = Felis catus White human = Homo sapiens Black human = Homo sapiens Do you understand the difference between race and species now? Your explaination is simplistic and incredibly outdated, by that metric nearly all snakes are the same species If humans were any other animal or bird they would be reclassified as subspecies without a shadow of a doubt. There are so many differences across the globe. There really isn't enough genetic difference between human populations to split them into subspecies. The current definition of subspecies requires abrupt changes in morphology, humanity is clinal. You are wrong. Look at Caribou for example, they have sub-species based almost entirely on where they are found. There is very very little difference, at all, save for antler mass. Look at the sub-species of white rhino..identical.... JMHO.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,832 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Just to point out, modern day humans are already a subspecies, all of our sister subspecies having become extinct. So to reclassify all the separately identifiable people's (races) today would require a sub-subspecies classification or the reclassification of the modern human as a species and no longer a subspecies. That's a mouth full! LOL Edited October 9, 2015 by Born Hunter 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
