Re: speaking of "races"...
Posted By: Michael Eilers <meilers@speedchoice.com>Date: 10/13/99 4:55 p.m.

In Response To: speaking of "races"... (Ben Schodek)

RACE and SPECIES are NOT interchangable terms, and Bungie has made this slip-up dozens of times in the past in both the marathon and Myth series...

A RACE is a sub-member of a SPECIES - it is a variation that can still breed and produce offspring with other members of that species

A SPECIES is a distinct biological group that can produce offspring within itself but not with anything outside of its group.

The two terms are NOT interchangeable, and to use them in this way is just silly.
