Why does Carolyn challenge Riddick to rejoin the "human" race?  He isn't human is he?  He's Furyan.  Or are all the different races in the Universe still considered human, but to have different ethnicity? Confused.

Simple answer: Riddick was not originally Furyan at the time Pitch Black was made.

Complicated canon answer: The only intelligent life in the Riddick universe belong to humanoid beings. Much like the Native Americans being called "Indians", every race began to be called human as long as you were humanoid. The "human race" is just a way of saying: civilized society. As far as I am concerned, I consider Riddick to be human.

I though Furyans are a branch of humanity.

When he accepted his place as a mass-murderer he rejected his "humanity". She is challenging him to act normal or "human" with a conscience
