Subspecies - a category in biological classification that designates a population genetically distinguishable from other such populations of the same species and capable of interbreeding successfully.
Race -breed, an actually or potentially interbreeding group within a species; also : a taxonomic category (as a subspecies) representing such a group
They mean the same thing. The dictionary even uses the word subspecies to define race.
In the 20th century science removed the traditional human subspecies taxonomy. Not because it doesn't exist. But because we are over sensitive to our differences. Replacing the nomenclature.
It's completely irrational to believe there are different races and not believe there are different subspecies. It's really just semantics.
Nerdykid, sorry for the confusion. When i say equality, I'm talking about rights, freedoms, and laws. Things that we govern society with that should be equal for everyone. My quote "We are the same and everybody is equal. " was used as satire.
I want to say believing animals aren't rational/self-conscious/autonomous is a fair opinion. But it's not. Animals more specifically mammals/aves, absolutely understand life and death, and have a self governing society(autonomous). They are also fully capable of being rational and using logic. Primates are the best example. Crows and dolphins are pretty smart too.
Late philosophers took the stance that humans are above the animal kingdom. That's just being self-righteous. Humans like to think that we are above our environment, remember we use to think that the Earth was the centre of the Universe.
On topic, glad to hear the robot didn't get beat up.
