There's no universal numerical threshold for subspecies; it's a qualitative judgment based on criteria like Ernst Mayr's: geographically distinct populations with diagnostic traits, partial reproductive isolation, and genetic differentiation (often Fst >0.15-0.25 for high divergence). In humans, Fst between groups is ~0.10-0.15 (moderate), but clinal gradients and ongoing gene flow prevent discrete subspecies.
