About the biological taxonomy term the sociological concept Social interpretations of race the anthropological term Race classification of humans In biology, races are distinct Genetic divergence genetically divergent populations within the same species with relatively small morphological and genetic differences. The populations can be described as ecological races if they arise from adaptation to different local habitat s or geographic races when they are geographical isolation geographically isolated . If sufficiently different, two or more races can be identified as subspecies , which is an official biological taxonomy unit subordinate to species. If not, they are denoted as races , which means that taxon a formal rank should not be given to the group, or taxonomists are unsure whether or not a formal rank should be given. According to Ernst W. Mayr , a subspecies is a geographic race that is sufficiently different taxonomically to be worthy of a separate name http www.goodrumj.com Mayr.html ref cite book author Ernst Mayr title Populations, Species, and Evolution An Abridgment of Animal Species and Evolution publisher Belknap Press location Cambridge, Mass year 1970 pages isbn 0 674 69013 3 oclc doi ref Examples of race include The western honey bee is divided into several List of honey bee races honey bee races See also Cultivar Several meanings of plant variety This intentionally links to a disambiguation page.
