Wharf, let's stick to science here. Great whites travel globally, so they are not isolated geographically. Nothing that you have linked to even indicates that they are a subspecies. All that's happening is that California is saying that great whites are endangered in California. And there isn't any evidence to suggest that 1. this is true or 2. that humans have anything to do with it. In fact, if great whites are shoving off to warmer waters (hawaii, generally), it is more likely the orcas inducing tonic immobility and eating their livers. Your responses border on intellectual dishonesty.

different subspecies of the same species are capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring, but they often do not interbreed in nature due to geographic isolation or other factors. Like the northern spotted owl is a subspecies of spotted owl that is different from the other subspecies because it lives in the "north." The other spotted owl subspecies are the California spotted owl and the Mexican spotted owl ... the unique thing that makes them subspecies is they live in California and Mexico, respectively. No kidding: Subspecies Strix occidentalis caurina – Northern Spotted Owl Strix occidentalis occidentalis – California Spotted Owl Strix occidentalis lucida – Mexican Spotted Owl http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_Owl Based on this reasoning, we can say that California humans are a distinct subspecies of human because they live in California. A colorful subspecies shown below in their native habitat and garb:
