I think "species" is more appropriate, since before modern times, there was almost no interbreeding. The word "race" seems designed to cloud the issue. Even "subspecies" seems a half truth. Also, some interbred with Neanderthals and almost certainly other humanoids.

Listen to https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/91696-new-nice then google to see tha bone density of Africans is a 10 to 20% higher. The radio show explains the relationship between bone density, and other physical features, and propensity toward violence. I think of the spreading across the earth as starting 120,000 years ago, meaning the bipedal apes have had over 6,000 (probably over 15,000) generations to diverge.

Misc facts: The Australian aboriginal can lie down on the ground and sleep naked when it is below freezing. As he sleepsz his body will go into hypothermia and then warm itself up in the morning. We would die.
