About the biological taxonomy term the sociological concept Social interpretations of race the anthropological term Race classification of human beings 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.
