There are 3 primary races of human (like 3 primary colors) that man evolved from?

Question

If you are so proud of your race were did you start from.

good job chris F

Answer 1

anthropologist describe three distinct races...Caucasoid, *******, and Mongoloid..when discussing the origin of man. Is that what you are asking?

Answer 2

Scientifically, there is really only one race, the human race. The so called races are social constructs based on phenotype.

Mitochondrial DNA studies suggest that all humans, regardless of race or color, have a common ancestor, an African woman, who lived about 50,000 years ago. When the climate changed, bands of people migrated into the mideast, then from there some into Europe and some into Asia and eventually the Americas. Racial traits such as skin color, hair texture, etc, are thought to be the result of genetic drift and climate adaptations. We are mostly descended from the Cro-Magnon subspecies of hominids, although it is now becoming apparent that some people of European descent may have up to 5% Neanderthal genes. Bones recently found in a Croatian cave suggest hybridizing perhaps 25,000 years ago.

Some people say that the different varieties of humanity are the result of genetic experiments by extraterrestrials on various bands of humans at various times and places. Some of these experiments went awry, leading to various genetic defects that seem to concentrate in certain ethnic groups. I like this idea myself, although there is no scientific evidence to back it us. As a sci-fi fan, I feel it has far more appeal than other theories concerning the descendants of Seth, Cain, Ham, etc.

Answer 3

There still exists the first African tribe that carry the genes which are something like the primary racial features, I don't know where they are. I saw it on a B.B.C documentary a good while back and Bob Geldof was one of the presenters of the show.

I remember what they looked like. They were African complexioned but they didn't look like Africans we see today. Not like a Somalian or a Nigerian for example.

I'm sorry I don't have the source and that I am just quoting from a memory. I suggest, if your interested, maybe look up Bob Geldof's site, or The Earth Institute or perhaps the B.B.C media archives.

Answer 4

Like most of the other people that responded to you i'm not sure that there is a question here or what you are trying to prove. But as for an answer I do agree with the fact that all the races descended from a common ancestor, i don't believe in the evolution theory, I do believe the Bible explanation that all the reaces descended from Noah's three sons Japheth, Shem, and Ham. Japheth descendents are caucasian, Shem descendants are asian, and Ham descendsants are of African desent.

Answer 5

no
as a broad general definition of race we have CaucAsians, asian, *****, bushman (San) and Australoid, how ever we didn't not evolve from them

Humans often categorize themselves in terms of race or ethnicity, although the validity of human races as true biological categories is doubtful.Genetic studies have indicated that humans on the African continent are most genetically diverse, consistent with the theory that humans originate from Africa (see below).However, compared to other animals, human gene sequences are remarkably homogeneous and the majority of genetic variation occurs within 'racial groups', with only 5 to 15% of total variation occurring between racial groups. Human racial categories are based on both ancestry and visible traits, especially skin color and facial features. Ethnic groups, on the other hand, are more often linked by linguistic, cultural, and national or regional ties. Self-identification with an ethnic group is based on kinship and descent. Race and ethnicity can lead to variant treatment and impact social identity, giving rise to the theory of identity politics.


we did evolve from homo erectus

Homo erectus and from homo erectus evolved

Homo erectus soloensis
Homo erectus pekinensis
Homo erectus palaeojavanicus
Homo floresiensis
Homo antecessor
Homo heidelbergensis
Homo neanderthalensis
Homo sapiens
Homo rhodesiensis
Homo cepranensis
Homo sapiens sapiens

Answer 6

Differences are caused by different stimuli over long periods of time. For instance different pigmentation (darker skin vs. lighter skin) is influenced by consumption of foods of Vitamin D.

Answer 7

I am a history teacher and evidently you have no idea what you are talking about! In the beginning there was only ONE race. Everyone knows that. Except you of course.

Answer 8

I have no idea nor do I care. I don't even look at a person's race when I first meet them. I thought everyone originated from Africa?

Answer 9

man evolved from human? i thought the evolutionists claim man evolved from apes. i don't take advice from the offspring of apes.

Answer 10

I don't understand...
