==== Elven Subspecies ====

{{See also|Golden Elves}}

There are several Xotikobiologically recognized sub-species of elves, however this recognition is not universal and the status and validity of subspecies among Elves remains contested as discussion on the topic continues, with competing models to describe in what way elves are subdivided amidst notable biological differences among members of the species. Some of the key controversies that have been raised regarding the use of the term "sub-species" (or more accurately "sub-sub-species") is that similar classifications are not made for humans and other priminid. Some scientists have gone so far as to use the term "scientific racism". Given the complex nature of the Elvine group and the social, economic and political issues that surround them, it is unlikely that a single answer will emerge in the foreseeable future.
