Why are certain races physically more homogeneous than others?

Question

I think Whites and Hispanics are very diverse, but Asians and blacks are not very diverse.

Blacks: Black hair, same hair texture, black/brown eyes, similar facial features, and minimal range in skin tone.

Asians: black/brown hair, similar facial features, similar facial structure, similar body type.

Whites: Wide range of facial features, different nose, and mouth shapes, different eye structures, Hair ranging from straight to kinky, hair coloration from blonde to black, and eye color from light blue to black. Body types ranging from petite to line backer. And skin tones ranging from white as snow to dark brown like Portuguese people.

Hispanics: Wide range of facial features, different body types, eye color ranging from green to black, and hair ranging from brown to red. Differing nose and mouth shapes. And skin color ranging from beige to almost black.

Why do Asian people look alike, and black people look alike, but whites and hispanics all look V E R Y different?

Answer 1

i thought all whites and chineese look alike
i never met two black ppl that look alike
you prolly dont know too many black ppl if u sayin all brothers look alike

Answer 2

Well, the last time I checked: wide range of facial features, different nose and mouth shapes, different eye structures, body types ranging from petite to line backer--were characteristics of PEOPLE in general. I mean I must admit that Asian people do look alike but black people don't. It's just how you see them....BLACK so ppl assume they looked like the one they saw 5 min. ago.

Answer 3

Well, I have heard other nationalities say all whites look alike.

Here is my theory. Take a black or brown wall. Then put some yellow or white or green paint on it. It isn't too visable. Take a white wall and add the same colors...the colors against the white wall are obvious. As you can see I am so white that without make up I can stand against a white wall and not be seen. I told my kids.....lets get some variety of color in this family. My youngest grandaughter has dark irish in her and her skin is a lovely brown, like the best tan ever.

I am 99.99999% Swedish.....grandparents came to the states.

In perdominatly white countries there are generalities. Germans.....high cheak bones. Norwegiens rounder faces.
Finland....longer faces. As you move down south on the globe skin color changes to darker to adjust to the sun and weather.
Nothern Eueropean countries the women are often well rounded, because of famine in the winter months.....nature hangs on to fat and calories for the person to surrive the long dark winter. The problem is with me is that I live in California with a short, mild winter. So, when I go without eating my body DNA says OMG there is a famine.....best hang on to all the fat cells that you can .

Hispanics are genitically infulenced by Spain and other countries.

When someone like my very blond daughter had a child with an dark haired irish man.......the dark eyes and hair are obviously visable. Very white genes are not dominate and need both parents to have recessive genes to produce a fair complected blonde with blue eyes. Take again someone like my daughter who is full of recessive genes and she has a child with a man
who has dark dominate genes. The dominate gene mixed with the recessive one....the dominate one comes through.

About body size. My family in sweden are very short. In the states we are taller. Most likely from better nutrition during the potato famine back in the early to mid 1800's.

I have blues recessive eyes because both of my parents have recessive genes. My grandaughter has beautiful brown eyes because of her dominate genes from her irish father.

Thus those of us with recessive genes show more variety because of the the dominate genes taking over. Even two black skinned people can have a white child if each of them have caucasion in their heritage and if both give their half chain of chromosones (spelling? sorry I am tired) It is rare but it happens.

Does this make sense?


In some African countries like ethopia the people are tall and lean with beautufil longer faces. Other African countries have rounder faces and bodies.

It is an interesting study isn't it?

Answer 4

I think it's a matter of exposure to different races. I grew up around white people and around black people. I never thought theey all looked alike. I did think that all asian people looked alike until I lived in a city with a large asian population for a while. Now I can look at most aisians and say "oh, they're chinese" or "oh they're vietmanese" or "oh, they're korean" or whatever. I think you just need to up your level of exposure.

Answer 5

Hispanic is not a race, hispanic is a race invented by Americans, because you are brain-less and you can't understand that other countries are multi-racial too. The "very different hispanics" are probably hispanics from different races. There are white hispanics, indigenous, black, and mixed.

Answer 6

Actually, it's diversity of heritages that causes people to look different. if you look closer at "white" people, you will see racial differences that reflect the region of europe where they originated, the same with "black", or "asian" and their respective regions of Africa and Asia. Hispanic peoples are native Americans, who are also as diverse as europeans, asians, or africans.

Answer 7

Thats probably because you are white. And its easier to notice the difference in the culture you came from.

Now go to bed and have a very nice nap. By the way have you done your homework yet?

Answer 8

you are forever wrong, i know 10 blacks with green eyes and they are not mixed. I even know a girl that has blue eyes, and she is black. There goes your theory. And only a moron would think that everyone in a particular race looks te same.

Answer 9

i think of black human beings are the least probable to proudly proclaim their attraction to different races. i'm black, and in my opinion i've got got here upon that black human beings have a real 'loyalty' to their race, and that they attempt to instill that for the duration of their infants. they do no longer decide for his or her infants or kin to marry outdoors of their race, they are seen 'sellouts.'

Answer 10

theoraticly from which we know from genetic history.....everyone of us are from africa....well we know what skin colour is that right...well when human start saperating and travel to other land.skin colour tends to change due to weather conditions,this as we know as human biology evolution...and daily activities also affect the physical of our body to suit the nature of thier living.
