Are we a polytipic or monotypic species?

Going off Wikipedia
>A taxonomist decides whether to recognize a subspecies or not. A common way to decide is that organisms belonging to different subspecies of the same species are capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring, but they do not usually interbreed in nature due to geographic isolation, sexual selection, or other factors. The differences between subspecies are usually less distinct than the differences between species.
I'd figure that differences between an Australian Aboriginal and a northern European would qualify as different subspecies.
