How many Races exist?

[CelticViking]

I would say that capoids are Negroid-Mongoloid mixed, as well as uraloid are Europioid-Mongoloid mixed. I don't think that they will be separate races.I think it is necessary to allocate 4 biggest races: the Negroid, Australoid, Mongoloid, Europoid

Capoids and Mongoloid are different.
If a modern day Congoid and Mongoloid mix, they don't look like Capoids.

One race, the white race. Rest are sub-humans.

if your not white then you are mud race.

To my knowledge, one.

There's a certain difference between a species and a race, Anders. Species are further divided into distinct biological units, with obvious differences in their genetic make-up. They can be called "races" or "subspecies" or whatever.

No wonder your mental diarrhea was thanked by CircassianWine and that crew. When you're already hopelessly race-mixed, I suppose that "There be only 1 race, da yooman race!!!" is the most comfortable ideology.

Caucasian
-Germanic
-Slavic
-Latin
-Semitic
-Kushitic
-Iranian
-Indian

People of Madagascar are a Bantu/Malay combination. Like a Filipino mixed with a Mozambican.

Yes indeed, Malgasci are exactly a mix of Malays (Austronesians) + Bantu (negroids). So a mix of this:



+ this:

Only 4 IMO, Caucasoid, Negroid, Mongoloid and Australoid

I don't agree. Indids are nor negroid nor caucasoid, and Austronesians are nor mongoloid nor australoid.



I still think there are:
-caucasoid
-negroid
-mongoloid (if we want to reduce the number of races we can put native Americans under this).
-austronesians
-australoid
-indid

But the races are 6 at least.

I agree with that division, except for the Indid category. If we separate Indids from the Caucasoids, then we should separate too:

· within the Negroid group: the San, Pygmies and Ethiopes should be seen as different races from the Negroids
· within the Mongoloid group: Amerinds from Asian Mongoloids but also, within the Asian Mongoloid group, Arctic Mongoloids from East Asian Mongoloids
· within the Austronesian group: SE Asians from the Pacific Islanders ("Nesians")
· within the Australoid group: Papuans from Australians

So that would imply 13 races in total.

The classifying problem in India is that it is one of the most mixed places in the world in terms of both racial groups and time.

Indians are not caucasian, Dravidians are an own race. Also if we want to reduce the races to just 4 (caucasian, negroid, mongoloid and australoid) Dravidians stand out or are grouped with australoids, but in my opinion it would be more correct to consider them an own race.

Nevertheless, Indians are classified by modern anthropologists as belonging to one of four different morphological or ethno-racial subtypes, although these generally overlap because of admixture: Caucasoid and Mongoloid (concentrated in the north), Australoid (concentrated in the south), and Negrito (located in the Andaman Islands).[18][19] Dravidians are generally classified as members of the Proto-Australoid or Australoid race.

Fine. But as I said, if we consider Dravidians a race of their own, then we can't limit them to only six, as there are several other races of their own too.
