From Merriam-Webster
>a category in biological classification that ranks immediately below a species and designates a population of a particular geographic region genetically distinguishable from other such populations of the same species and capable of interbreeding successfully with them where its range overlaps theirs
Broadly I can identify 12 or so subspecies of humanoids.

>Melanesians
>Aboriginies
>Sub-saharans
Clearly physically distinguishable groups, genetically distinguishable, and vary greatly in observed behavior. Of course you can then subdivide forever (differences likewise become much smaller, much like African Lions are a subspecies of lion, but there are some groups that noticeably differ i.e. strange behavior or bigger/smaller than normal etc.) e.g. Germanic, Latin, Slavic (ethno-linguistic lines), or even further e.g. Prussian, Bavarian, Saxons, Austrians, or even further until you reach the individual.
