I also want to state that according to that classification site almond eyes are quite common in the Euro-mediterranean group (and consequently in Southern American Latinos) and in Lebaneses, and give a very feminine look to the face, but they are not common in Greeks, Armenians and Arabs.

I said 13 races... It should be 16, if we separate Dravidians.

I mark with a red line the 0,05 distance in order to separate Dravidians.



That means, 16 races:

- Australian race
- Papuan race
- Western Nesian race
- Polynesian race
- SE Asian race
- Nadenian race
- Amerind race
- Arctic race
- Siberian race
- E Asian race
- Caucasian race
- Dravidian race
- Ethiopian race
- East Subsaharian race
- West Subsaharian race
- Pygmy race

You forgot about the American race.




And a novelty, the Postmodern race:

[Übermensch]

Id' say:

Caucasoid (including special types such as lappid)

Mongoloid (including indianid)

australoid (including veddidid and negritid)

congoidi (including pigmoid)

Capoid

Negritid can be considered a race for their own but i prefer to take them in the australoid macro-family.

You are lumping a lot of "sub-races" that have nothing to do with each other. Like Bantu with Pigmy and Khoisan. Polynesian with Negrito. Turkic with Inuit, Saami with Arab or North Indian Nordic etc. Some also don't make sense, like Egyptian and Greek.

White, yellow, red, coloured, mulattoes and niggers.

Apparently the Khoisan and the Bantu aren't that far, genetically speaking. That also came as a surprise to me. I wonder if it's a sort of geographical convergence.

Are the Southeast Indians the Dravidians? And the Indians among the Caucasians?
