Actually, while humans do share approximately 98% of the genetic code with chimps, the genetic similarities between some "races" (more appropriately called groups) is more. Scandinavians and the Xhosa of Africa only share 95-97%, but it's not the amount of genetic similarity that is important, it's which genes are shared.

Darwinian's concept of evolution says that the main adapted creature will survive. it is been guessed that distinctive races got here from distinctive environmental pressures and the colour of epidermis in distinctive areas had distinctive advantages and drawbacks. It grew to become right into slightly stressful to decipher your question yet people are each and every of the comparable genetically different than for epidermis coloration. it is the comparable way somebody could have brown hair and somebody else could have blonde. "White human beings" have invaded and overthrown close by human beings from the prospect of no longer having sufficient components. The british chanced on and used Australia as a detention center as their jails have been finished. whilst close by tribes lived with the land- no longer farming it as modern-day standards. Their inhabitants grew to become into controlled via the ambience and lived in smaller numbers- making it much less complicated to overthrow. additionally "superb" innovations is a subjective term. you're able to locate something superb whilst somebody else thinks it is stupid. the guidelines of modern-day technologies have been based via the extra stepped forward civilisations- as a result, those with white epidermis- from the way people have coated the earth.

No. The differences within "races" are actually greater than those between "races." Most anthropologists believe that race is not a real category for humans. We tend to use words like "ethnicity" or "culture."

No. We share over 99% of DNA with chimpanzees, but the difference in DNA between white, black, red, and yellow people is almost negligible. We are all the same critter.

No all humans are 99.9% the same genetically. Here is something else that is interesting, the southern part of africa and the northern part of africa are more gentically diverse than the northern part of africa is from the rest of the world. That .1% is what's making us all look different and causing a lot of unnecessary hatred.

No, in fact they would not be capable of reproducing, if there were that big of a difference and of a different species or give blood transfusions or share donated vital organs.

no they are not big! its just the color..or the shape of the eyes...or even the height...But...each race finds the other races weird because they are not familiar with them...for example, ppl in europe are generally the same...a greek with a french/german/italian etc....Its us who really make the difference more obvious..!

From a biological standpoint, no. They only seem significant to us because we are very familiar with our own kind.

No, most are small and subtle. Skin color is probably the biggest. Others are ear size and nose size.

No, our genetic make-up is too similar, it's our geography that determines "race".
