3. Human subspecies don't exist. Unlike many animals, modern humans simply haven't been around long enough or isolated enough to evolve into separate subspecies or races. Despite surface appearances, we are one of the most similar of all species.
I have always thought all races were irrelevant because we are all the same on the inside but I never thought of it as a process of evolution. This is a very interesting way of looking at race. When thinking of animals, they do not have races, they have different species. For example dogs, the don't have races, they have breeds and the difference between the breeds is that they are shaped differently because they have evolved and adapted to the terrain that they reside in. The only thing that separates humans is that skin color is different but no "race" has really adapted to their surronddings.
