Concepts like species, subspecies and faimily are also constructs that are just about as arbitrary as race.
This is a matter of much dispute and a lot of confusion. See here.
I wondered how humans are grouped, so I got some genes from the world, and did an eigenvalue analysis, and this is what i found:

As you can see, humans are indeed clustered in subspecies.
This doesn’t demonstrate subspecies.
Thanks for the link, I’m reading it now.
I just want to clear up that I’m refering to species and subspecies in the biological sense in that sentence and family in the ordinary every day sense not to the category between order and genus.
