If there are only three basic races, White, black and momgolian, the rest are alleged mixed, then...?

Question

Expalin how we start with three races, when actually started from one race! Adam and Eve. Good luck on this one!

Answer 1

Oh dear, the only good luck involved here is that associated with evolution. There was no Adam and Eve, there are no three basic races. The starting point of your question is nonsensical, based on falsehoods and long discredited theories. Try again!

Answer 2

According to the Bible, all people today descended from the survivors of a great Flood - Noah's family, who in turn descentded from Adam and Eve (Gen 1:11). There are many stories, from many parts of the world, of a great Flood that only several people survived to repopulate the earth.
But today we have many different groups, often called "races" with what seem to be greatly differing features. The most obvious of these is skin color. Some see this as a reason to doubt the Bible's record of history. They believe that the various groups could have arisen only by evolving separately over tens of thousands of years. However, this does not follow from the evidence.
The Bible tells us how the population that descended from Noah's family had one language and were living together and disobeying God's command to "fill the earth" (Gen 9:1, 11:4). God confused their language, causing a break-up of the population into smaller groups, which scattered over the earth (Gen. 11:8-9). Modern genetics shows how, following such a break-up of a population, variations in skin color, for example, can develop in only a few generations. And there is good evidence to show that the various groups of people we have today have NOT been separated for huge periods of time.
One could say there is really only one race - the human race. The Bible teaches us that God has "made from one blood all nations of men" (Acts 17:26. Scripture distinguishes people by tribal or national groupings, not by skin color or physical features. Clearly, though, there are groups of people who have certain features (e.g.skin color) in common, which distinguish them from other groups. We prefer to call these "people groups" rather than "races," to avoid the evolutionary and racist connotations that have become associated with the word "race."
All peoples can intermarry and produce fertile offspring. This shows that the biological differences between the "races" are not great. In fact, the DNA differences are trivial. The DNA of any two people in the world would typically differ by just 0.2%. Of this, only 6% can be linked to racial categories; the rest is "withinrace" variation.
This genetic unity means, for instance, that white Americans, although ostensibly far removed from black Americans in phenotype, can sometimes be better tissue matches for them than other black Americans.

Answer 3

Adam and Eve is just a story and is not meant to be taken literally (this goes for a lot of other things in the Bible too). Different races have resulted from migration of our ancestors which resulted to a difference in skin color and features to adapt to the weather or the environment in a certain region.

Answer 4

Physical adaptation to various climates. Adam and Eve would hypothetically had to have the dominant traits of each race.

Answer 5

Probably the oldest race would be asian. Did you not ever notice caucASIAN came from the word asian? look into Medicine some of the oldest medicinal records go back into chinese medicines.

The eskimo's are desendent of Asians which crossed over a land bridge from asia as well.

If your wondering I am a Caucasian American man with some Irish and German in my heritage. I am a mutt (mixed breed) so to speak as are most people.

Answer 6

Race is a man-made thing. You could classify people into races of height, hair color, weight, or anything you want. It's better to describe people by nationality only because it gives a tribute to the country they came from and may cause someone to educate themselves about a culture outside of the one they belong to.

Answer 7

Evolution/genetics.

People moved to different areas, continued to breed within a small group of people, thus certain traits and similarities developed from their offspring.

Keep doing this for several thousand years, and the various groups of people begin to look different from each other.

Anyway, who is to say there was only one Adam and one Eve? Maybe when God was creating man, he actually created several men--and several Eves. The bible was translated so many, many times by people without formal educations, who knows how it originally read? Hmmm just some food for thought.

Answer 8

Caucasoid, *******, Mongoloid, American Indian and Australian Aborigine, actually. Since your premise is false, I don't guess you have a creditable alternative to Adam and Eve. :Yet, you seem to have an air of superiority. What gives?

Answer 9

There are five races.

there is also Australoid and Capoid.

To start.

I say only ONE RACE human and then ethnicities. But I am but one woman.

Answer 10

Four races-- you forgot the Dad-golian race too.
