I understand what you're saying. The colloquial usage of "race" in "human race", meaning species, is a misnomer that has found its way into common usage even among us grammar geeks: Whenever the Census rolls around, for example, I always answer the question on "race" by checking "Other" and writing in HUMAN RACE. :)
