human.
   

  This is a race.


  is it?


 

 "the human race"  

 I mean, race has other meanings too.


No, it's a species.

race - the human race or family; humankind

I'm not saying that you're wrong, but i'm right as well. support your disagreement with a reliable source.

In biology, a race is any inbreeding group, including taxonomic subgroups such as subspecies, taxonomically subordinate to a species and superordinate to a subrace and marked by a pre-determined profile of latent factors of hereditary traits.

So "Human" is a rank of "Human"?

You clearly don't think straight, as race has many meanings. it says IN BIOLOGY.

Oh, okay then.


I guess that it would have any meaning it wants than - I am going by the proper meaning.

The "Human race" makes literally no sense though - why not use the "Human Species" instead of race, something humans are divided into?

Exactly, you just proved me point. "i am going by the proper meaning." do you seriously think that there is a book that states the "proper" definition of a word? how is the definition i used not proper? after all, i did get it from a printed dictionary.

Why would you call humans a race when humans are a SPECIES and separated into races.

Why are you asking me this? Is it not clear to you that race has more than one fucking meaning? why the fuck are you so fucking hard headed? i've never fucking said you were wrong. however, i wasn't fucking wrong either. you're seriously fucking hard headed and really need to shut the fuck up already. drop the subject already. no matter fucking what, you're just broaching this topic again and fucking again. i'm fucking over it. just shut the fuck up already. i really didn't give a fuck in the beginning and i don't give a fuck now, but you're seriously fucking triggering the trigger in me.

14 times. You said "Fuck" FOURTEEN TIMES.

Does it make some sort of point? Does it add a "Fucking" emphasis on your "Fucking" post?

No.

Sure, race has other meanings, but the fact is - why use race when it's commonly used as categories of humans for the whole species?


The "Human race" is a pointless phrase. It goes against biology and implys that humans have no genetic variation among themselves.

The guy is just obsessed. Tried to show him how his mind and reasoning just goes in circles but its hopeless and pointless.
