I recently read that Kenyan people's lungs are actually 30% larger than say, an Australian's.
Their average height is taller than ours and their legs are longer proportionally in relation to their torso. Isn't this coupled with the difference in pigmentation, habitat, diet and lifestyle enough to divide us in more than race/locality?
Should we not be Homo Sapiens Australiaensis and Homo Sapiens kenyaensis?
I have also read that races were considered ssp. until the 70's I think it was, but further genetic testing proved it wrong. Which then brings us to, Let's say
Nephrurus Levis Levis and N.L.Pilbarensis, are we so politically correct that we cannot divide humans the same way?
Just a topic I always find interesting, purely scientific. Not derogatory in any way.
