back on topic:
Ghouls and Supermutants are not humans anymore.
They are not compatible with humans with respect to reproductive capabilities and their genetic differences are pretty profound.
It would be more accurate to say they share the same genus but have evolved into different species. Evolution and taxonomy don't always flow in the same manner. That is to say, two species sharing the same genus need not have evolved separately from a common ancestor; one could have evolved from the other.
So what shall we call Ghouls and Supermutants?
Homo radioactivus and Homo bigdumbfuckus?
