Talk:Race (human categorisation)

Page was moved

The original page history is at Race (history • watch)

What other theme pages are Homo sapiens only?

Race (human categorisation) is a Wikipedia page, however Neanderthals interbred with Homo sapiens and a large percentage of what we would call human beings have Neanderthal DNA. The American Anthropological Association does not endorse the idea of scientifically objectively distinct races, however the idea of their having been various human sub-species is endorsed, so my question is this: where would one put pages about the racial categorization of one's Neanderthal ancestors? Are Neanderthals human or do we need a separate page for their races called Race (Neanderthal categorisation)? The description for Race (biology) states that the ranks are informal, so why are quotes about humans than formally distinct from all other species?
It seems very odd to have a theme page that only applies to one species, is this the only page that is speciest in scope which isn't the page specifically for that species? Do we need a separate page for the Fantasy genre's usage of the term race? There's plenty of fantasy novels that deal with Elven racial groupings we could quote, does Race (Elf categorisation) really need to be a page? I think there's a reason most other collections of quotations don't include too many terms in parenthesis, the terms ranking and classification are also synonyms for categorisation; I would like to see someone point out an example of this page's title with a definition in a dictionary.
