Actually we are apes but this is irrelevant (we are closer related to chimpanzees than gorillas, orangutans, or gibbons are!. We are firmly in the middle of the 'ape' family tree)!. Race is a cultural constuct with no genetic basis!. It is used to differentiate between your group and others!. Eg the Aryan race!. Species is altogether differentWww@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, race is a subset of humans!. But we are a group of the same species able to breed together, which is a definition of race!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No but race is an outdated notion for some people, it's ethnicity that still separates us!. There is an ethnic race unfortunately and no one knows who's gonna win yet!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Technically, because we are not monkeys, apes or gorillasWww@QuestionHome@Com
