The five human races

[Mortimer]

I think im caucasoid, and i will continue to call myself caucasoid eventhough some label roma closer to australoids, but thats just wrong, roma are caucasoid, fact. i dont consider myself "white" though, i consider people who look european as white. i dont consider even many turks as white, and mideasterners, but some are. they are close to white, the closest population to white in the world but there is still a difference.

europeans=white
orientals=berbers,arabs,turks,persians,kurds,leban ese,palestiniansetc. (often can look european but in essence are distinct race)
pakistanis,gypsies,indians,sri lankans,bangladeshis
ssa (i count east africans also as ssa, most i saw look "black" not pseudo-indian like wadaad in essence they are "black" but some can look pseudo indian they are somewhat different then west africans though)
east asian
southeast asian
amerindian
aboriginal,papuans,etc.
adamnese islanders
bushmen

maybe i left someone out, and will add later, but thats my races

Indids are their own race. IMO we are isolated from every other races out there (inbetween if you will ) and plus there are like 1 billion of us. I dont agree with australoid terminology because its honestly half assed. Any one who does not fit within the negroid , caucosoid and mongoloid is an australoid.

I mean what does a veda , south Indian , aboriginee, papuan , negrito, and oceanics have in common? Yet they all belong to the same race.

i agree, thats why i put southasians in one category i also disagree that northindians are caucasoid and southindians are australoid i think both are similar and should be in one race. look at my race categories what do you think?

There is one human species now. IMO, there are different races of the current human species just as there are different breeds of the current dog species. There is one dog species, but there isn't one dog breed. IMO, there is one human species, but there isn't one human race (in the literal sense).

According to the info. I can find:

Of the genetic variance in dogs, 31% is between breeds
Of the genetic variance in cats, 16% is between breeds
Of the genetic variance in humans, 10% is between breeds (or races)

A ref. for the dog study if anybody wants one: Parker et al, 2004 (Science journal)

I think your analogy is still a reasonable one. And I don't see how valuing and wanting to preserve diversity in humans is any less ethical than wanting to keep the different types of cats and dogs. The ethics of how that might be achieved is another matter.

i dont agree with racism but thats somehow true, in Linz i was approached by greenpeace to save bees, imagine if someone wanted to save a race the same way.

Well this picture just shows that asians and europeans developed from homo sapiens which left africa. Which is kinda obvious.

I don't understand why northern indians are considered caucasoid when they are not

[Linebacker]

Cro-magnoid has to be a separate race

[Teja]

I don't understand why northern indians are considered caucasoid when they are not

Because some of them are:

They are generally not caucasoid. The guy you posted is a very rare phenotype in india
