Now you got me talking from memory.
These human species range from the Demigods, to the mid-upper planets of Pritu-loka, to earth, to the subterranean planets, to the Yamadutas in hell. So I've heard.
As well, I understand that there are considered to be different species of human here on Earth. That there is some delineation among us. Probably some spiritual or conditioned quality.
A more studied devotee would be of better help.
However, it is said that all the demigods are lining up to take birth here on the middle-planet, Earth. Because there is life & death here, and struggle. Perfect conditions for the development of KC.
A demigod body is not a fortunate birth. They live practically forever, and have everything they want. All desires fulfilled. Better to be a short-lived human on Earth, where our conditions cause us to look for God.
Hare Krsna,
Short answer, the other 400,000 species are the various form of human bodies.
