racism

Rikibeth Stein
that's a perfect analogy ...
Dog are Canis lupus, and cross fertile with all of the subspecies, which includes wolves. We call the varieties of dogs: breeds ... like varieties of tomatoes, breeds are sub subspecies and all cross-fertile.

Subspecies are defined as [[ In biological classification, the term subspecies refers to a unity of populations of a species living in a subdivision of the species’s global range and varies from other populations of the same species by morphological characteristics.]]

All humans are homo sapiens.
Morphological difference is that we LOOK different or have other differences. They arrive from geologically separate populations slightly diverging.
Homo sapiens have MANY of these differences:
two types of mutations for high altitude,
dry ear wax vs wet ear wax,
color of our skin.

In the end, the "debate" of the use of the word "race" or "breed" or "subspecies" is only an ISSUE for politics/racism and scientists.
Alas - there is no logic, just hate.

ZERO difference when it comes to fertility or species definition.
ONLY IMPORTANT THING FOR RACISTS.

I have ALWAYS loved stories that capture TIME.

Groundhog Day
Window of Opportunity (Stargate SG-1) - groundhog day homage
The Inner Light (Star Trek: The Next Generation) - Pikard lives a lifetime in a moment
The Fountain - by Darren Aronofsky, starring Hugh Jackman
Marooned in Realtime - by Vernor Vinge - one of my all time favorite books
The Time Machine (all of them)
THE MAGICIANS | Season 3, Episode 5: Timing Is Everything | SYFY
first 8 minutes of UP!

There is something special ... showing the passage of a huge amount of time when you only have a small window to depict it ....
