As well as the three recognised human sub-species that are recognised as Major Races, there are at least 40 others classified as minor races (though some dispute this classification). Many human races are indistinguishable from each other though a few began from a small gene pool and/or developed in an extreme environment develop unique characteristics.

One additional classification is variant human race, one that has been gentically altered since the Ancients scattered Humaniti. The Solomani, in particular, have applied genetic engineering to their own race. Usually these new human races are classified as a minor race, even through they are decended from a major race.
