Modern scientists are afraid to call human races "subspecies" even though they are by definition.

>"...subspecies refers to two or more populations of a species living in different subdivisions of the species' range and varying from one another by morphological characteristics."

>"...a polytypic species has two or phenotypically divergent subspecies that differ from each other so that a separate description is warranted."

>"These distinct groups do not interbreed as they are isolated from another, but they can interbreed and have fertile offspring."

Now for cringe:

>"Biologists once classified races as subspecies, but today anthropologists reject the concept of race and view humanity as an interrelated genetic continuum."

>"Current humans have been designated as subspecies Homo sapiens sapiens..."

>"some research classifies idaltu and current humans as belonging to the same subspecies"

Annoying how political correctness sticks its nose into science.
