What is the correct useage of "race" and "species"?

1 Answer

Answer :

There is no such thing as a “Race”, and a species is a group of similar creatures who are unable to interbreed with another species and bear fertile offspring. It’s slightly loose taxonomy, but that’s the basic definition. Race is a mere misunderstanding based on very superficial features that have no real importance in the genome.
