Race, the idea that the human species is divided into distinct groups
on the basis of inherited physical and behavioral differences.

Genetic studies in the late 20th century refuted the existence of
biogenetically distinct races, and scholars now argue that “races”
are cultural interventions reflecting specific attitudes and beliefs
that were imposed on different populations in the wake of western
European conquests beginning in the 15th century.

HOW MANY
MAJOR RACES ARE
THERE IN THE WORLD?




A human race is defined as a group of people with certain common
inherited features that distinguish them from other groups of people.
All men of whatever race are currently classified by the anthropologist
or biologist as belonging to the one species, Homo sapiens.This is
another way of saying that the differences between human races are not
great, even though they may appear so, i.e. black vs white skin. All
races of mankind in the world can interbreed because they have so much
in common. All races share 99.99+% of the same genetic materials which
means that division of race is largely subjective, and that the original
3-5 races were also probably just subjective descriptions as well.



The Major Divisions of the Human Race

Most anthropologists recognize 3 or 4 basic races of man in existence today.
These races can be further subdivided into as many as 30 subgroups.


Ethnographic division into races from Meyers Konversationslexikon of 1885-90
is listing:



•Caucasian races

Aryans

Hamites

Semites



•Mongolian races

northern Mongolian

Chinese and Indo-Chinese

Japanese and Korean

Tibetan

Malayan

Polynesian

Maori

Micronesian

Eskimo

American Indian


•Negroid races

African, Hottentots

Melanesians/Papua
