From a scientific standpoint there is no such as "race." There are no particular genetic markers that decide race. The genetic difference between those with higher levels of melanin in their skin and paler folk is less than that between Finns and Italians.

There are three races: pure African homo sapiens, homo sapiens hybridized with Neanderthals (Europe, Asia, Americas), and homo sapiens hybridized with denisovians (Australia, New Guinea).
Its as good as the other definitions. |

You know what OP, in all seriousness, please provide the scientific definition of a "genetic race", and then perhaps someone may be able to attempt to answer your question.
As it is now, "race" is a very non-scientific measure of anything. |

The problem is there is not clear definition of what a race is - and all it takes is two people to have a kid to suddenly created a category that doesn't fit into any previous category.
Similar with species. We tend to lump species based on the physical traits, but when it comes to something like dogs they are all one species. Even though if a Great Dane and a Tea Cup poodle somehow managed to evolve on their own, we would have made them different species. |

Anthropologist I guess look at it differently then we do Ne-groid, Mongoloid and Caucasoid. with about 30 sub-groups. In terms of a noun Its a race of speed ,running driving or running. Race is obsolete as a biological system of classification and I get a fucking headache when I look for an answer from some of the best minds in the country who happen to be member's of this site. |

The use of domesticated animals (dogs, cats, others) is an invalid use of the term race, or breed, since they are artificial constructs, engineered over the ages by humans.
In the absence of human intervention, these characteristics would disappear over a long time. Likewise, most characteristics differentiating humans will disappear over time, given the vastly increased ability of humans to relocate, and breed with others of different characteristics. In the future, the world will probably be browner (or maybe yellower), but no less human. |

How many BREEDS of humans are there. That is the question. Pure Bree's offspring breed true, hybrids produce random mixed offspring. Though we almost certainly all evolved from Africanis, geographical isolation has created separate breeds, just like every other species.
The problem is that it is politically incorrect to discuss races as breeds, or as different (we are all supposed to be "equal"). Clearly we are not all the same. Each breed has strengths and weaknesses, which we should learn to use to our advantage instead of calling anyone who points out a difference a racist. So basically, any established group of people is a breed. Some breeds, like Asians, have obvious varieties, like Japanese vs. Chinese or Mongolian, but I suspect they would be considered the same breed. Why does it seem we spend so much time investigating animals and plants, but not ourselves? I'd love to learn more about our breeds. So my guess is roughly: 1) African / Black 2) Asian / Yellow 3) European / White 4) Native American (including South American) / Red |
