it was written as "race" in the book, so I didn't change it, especially since it doesn't have much sense to change it as "specie":
-humans and elves can have an offspring so they should be in the same specie
-humans and beastmen can have an offspring so they should be in the same specie
-elves and beastmen can't have an offspring so they shouldn't be in the same specie
that make things complicated
amazons are one of the 5 demi-humans "races" along side with elves, dwarves, beastmen and prum.
after that, I don't know how further division works for the author, like the differences between different beastmen, or the difference between elves and dark elves
