DID EVOLUTION CREATE THE DIFFERENT RACEs?

Question

I think it did. That is the purpose of the different races. Different people adapted to different climates, humidities, terrains, and diets. This caused natural selection to occur and the people with traits desirable to that area became more and more common.
God did not make us to "mix". If he did he would not have taken this long evolutional process of nature to make us all different. How is this any different from mating lions and tigers? If All lions and Tigers mated there would be no more lions and tigers.

Lions and tigers can breed

Answer 1

If it wasn't for race mixing none of us would be here today. We are all mixed, especially SICILIANS! You must be like 12. It's past your bedtime girlie.
Girl wonder. She cant be in the KKK because they don't like us Italians either. She is out of it. Hitler would have had her *** in a concentration camp. People that are racist hate us too.

Answer 2

Well basically the lion and tiger thing is out the door because they are different species. In the wild, white tigers and orange tigers breed without them worrying about passing which trait along. That's more to the point, because the scientific name of a human being does not change with hue. Any human whether white, brown, blonde, asian, whatever, is a Homo Sapien. Saying those of different skin colors shouldn't mate is the same as saying people with red hair and people with brown hair shouldn't reproduce. It's just another variety of human. Would you keep a white and black cat from mating?

Scientist have agreed that all life began in Africa, and yes, traits are adaptive to environment; skin lightening to maximize Vitamin D absorption, hair curly to protect from sun, eyes narrowing for living on and near the water or in high sun. All this happened as human beings explored and settled. But it wasn't made to make us different, it just happened that way because of nature. And it's just as natural that as people now choose where they live because of the increased ability to control environment, race becomes less important. You don't need to worry about sun so much, or heat, or rain- we have shelter, air conditioning, better food, etc. Here's one thing you are missing, as well. Constant interbreeding narrows the gene pool, which makes undesirable traits dominant. People of mixed race in general are more healthy and are often thought very attractive ( think Beyonce, Halle Berry, the hot guy on CSI with the gray eyes) due to extreme features and genetic deficiencies being bred out.

Did evolution create the HIV virus to live inside human bodies?
Yes, so we should stop telling people to be cautious and avoid getting it.
If we did that, there would be no more HIV virus.

Um, no.

Evolution/God made different groups of human beings more or less able to absorb energy from the sun. But the idea of "race" as a BIOLOGICAL fact, instead of just a SOCIAL one, was abandoned about 50 years ago. You aren't just sounding like a 1900 racist when you say things like this, you also sound like a 1900 evolutionist.

We can all produce fertile children, we are all essentially the same biologically. When scientists compare DNA, there is statistically no more of a genetic difference between the "races" as there is random difference between people in the same "race."

Answer 4

First off we define race as the coloration of skin and physical features. God created two humans. Coloration and certain physical features are deturmined by where on this earth you live. Descendants in Africa developed thick hair and darker skin due to the sun in that area. People of the Artic climate tend to be shorter and stockier to hold warmth and brown skinned because of the sun's rays that reflect off the ice and can harm the skin. Once Adam and Eve's descendants migrated to other places these features developed over time. Race isnt created. God only created Adam and Eve. now your next YAHOO ANSWERS question should be "when did humans disperse in order to develop these characteristics?" which I can also answer.

Answer 5

The different races adapted to different environments. We never speciated. Tell me, which race best adapted to working in an air conditioned office?

Lions and tigers can breed, but their offspring are usually infertile because they are closely related, but different species, not races.

Answer 6

This is more like a light tiger breeding with a dark tiger. Humans are all humans, there aren't any differences other then small ones like skin color. I don't think there are are religious or scientific reasons why humans can't "mix".

Answer 7

Lions and tigers are two different species. Get that? SPECIES. Not RACES. Two people of different races are still the same species. Now go put your Klan hood back on, your face is scaring the children.

ETA:
Still dosn't change the fact that you're a racist bint who do no one would want to mate with anyway.

Answer 8

Unclear, if so how and why.

Why would Africans, Chinese, Mayan and American Indians NOT have BLUE eyes or BLONDE hair anymore!

Why aren't MAYANS, a rainforrest species, more like Africans, another rainforrest species or visa vi

Why don't Africans have straight hair

What was the EVOLUTIONAL thinking behind all of this and WHO had the original skin color!

Answer 9

evoluyion did not create different races. the different races came about because of the tower of babel. After the flood, men wanted to build a tower that could reach the sky. so god mixed up man's languages and thus man spread to every part of the earth, becoming different races. when god first created the world, everthing was the best. but man could not take care of the world and the world became what it is today.

Answer 10

Lions and tigers are different species. Humans are not.
