In biology the concept of species is one that has reproductive isolation. As a botanist whiile this is easily understood when the rule is always broken because interspecific hybridization always occurs both in the wild or engineered in the laboratory, it is not so easily done among animals, especially insects, arachnids, even higher animals like birds and mammals. There are elaborate courtship rituals and preliminary behaviour before copulation actually occurs. Now regarding the question of difference between race and species we humans cutting across caucasoid, *******, mongoloid, asiatic or any other sub classification, can all inter marry and beget children. So reproductive isolation is not there. We have the basic chromosome number of 2n=46, and the slightest change in any of it becomes disastrous. But there is no difference in this across all the races. Infra specific categories are races and that is what we are. In one of the non fiction books, the writer had predicted that perhaps after 50 - 100 years, humans all over the world would have married and only one race would exist....but till then differences are bound to exist.

Humans, or human beings, are bipedal primates belonging to the mammalian species Homo sapiens (Latin for "wise man" or "knowing man") under the family Hominidae (known as the great apes).[1][2] Humans have a highly developed brain capable of abstract reasoning, language and introspection. This, combined with an erect body carriage that frees their upper limbs for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make greater use of tools than any other species.
