Brian M asked in Social ScienceAnthropology · 1 decade ago

How many different Anthropological Races are there within the Human race?

Please identify them in your answer.

Update:

The term race distinguishes one population of humans (or non-humans) from another. Many regard race as a social construct. The most widely used human racial categories are based on visible traits (especially skin color and facial features), genes, and self-identification. Conceptions of race, as well as specific racial groupings, vary by culture and over time and are often controversial, for scientific reasons as well as their impact on social identity and identity politics.

    that's an straightforward one. If the international receives too warm, we've shown that we may be able to live to inform the tale it because the "Cradles of Civilization" were in warm, dry parts. If the international receives chilly, then we've already shown that we may be able to face up to ice a lengthy time period, and that is with out any "severe" technologies. If the international receives overpopulated, it truly is going to, out of necessity, stability itself out. i do not imagine we want to be troubled about surviving the subsequent one hundred years. the actual question is the thanks to we shop the subsequent one hundred years from starting to be the subsequent darkish Age.

    One.

    In the past, physical anthropologists spent years defining sub-races within three major categories: Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid.

    When it became evident that physical traits, like skin color or eye form, were related more to geography than anything else, they switched to "geographical races:" European, Asian, African, and then "local races:" Meditterian European, Alpine European, etc., and finally "microraces:" polynesian, melanesian, etc.

    But, once the humane genome code was cracked, it became abundantly clear that there is only one race: human.

    The concept of "race" within the human species has been totally discredited by modern evolutionary biology.

    This is too much like you're trying to get other people to do your homework. Anyway, I can give you only the major races, subraces & subspecies. To give you all the subspecies would take up far too much room.

    Capoid or Khoisand Subspecies of Southern Africa, Congoid Suspecies of sub-Saharan Africa, Caucasoid or Europid Subspecies, Dinaric race, Alpine race, Ladogan race, Nordish or Northern European race, Armenid race, Turanid race, Australoid Subspecies and Mogoloid Subspecies. That's 5. If I could've listed all the subspecies within each classification, you'd see everyone in the entire world.

    You could've found this yourself.
