Species is a construct because it is a useful concept to bin or categorize traits. The woke ideology of pretending that all constructs are borne of "inequality" and "injustice" has no place in the sciences, where binning is a useful tool for studying populations, not individuals.
And yes, binning people into races, cultures, and nationalities is often useful too. Especially when they often self-identify as parts of those groups.
