where do differnt races of people come from?

Answer 1

Most anthropologists I know would explain that racial categories are culturally constructed. Race, in essence, does not exist. Humans are genetically more similar to each other than almost any other animal type on earth. There is more difference between people within a population that has been categorized as a race than between people in different 'racial' categories. Our skin color, for example, reflects adaptation to our environment because in northern environments, where there is less sun, darker skin would block out needed elements from the sun. Lighter skin in hotter climates would be problematic for life. Skin color is a very poor indicator of most other differences between people, however.

Answer 2

All humans are of one species: Homo Sapien.

And due to the obvious differences between homo sapiens, they were catergorized into three main types, or races: in Latin, the caucazoid, the ******* and the mongoloid.

Now race isn't just about skin color but physical and skeletal differences as well. Race is not just a cultural concept but physical and genetic as well. So yes there are differences in the three main races of man.

While these differences exist and are all the result of adaptations to the environment, none of those differences make any race of man superior or inferior to each other, we are still all homo sapien.

Answer 3

This is the Biblical answer: In Genesis, it talks about how men were building a tower and God wanted to put stop to it, so he made different languages and the people began to be scattered all over the world. This began the different races.

Answer 4

Said it before: each race began its rule right after changes happened in the solar system, like the bible wants you to believe with things like the Shepherd's star annonciated Jesus Birth.

We might add to this that each flood and each cataclsym, including the one which caused extinction of dinosaurs was caused by such a change in the solar system.

Greek mythology and Sumerian mythology give hints about that: the God Chronos has a child.... new King of Heavens... the sun god... golden age ends... what could that really mean when we know that ancient cultures associated gods with the heavens (the upper sky)?

Answer 5

There so many theories on this. It depends on what you believe. The bible said that the differences began @ the tower of babel. The scientists say that we were all one race before the Ice Age and after the Continental drift the people drifted and their skin, and hair and facial features changed to adapt to the different climates.

Answer 6

All human beings originate from Africa; it's a scientific fact. Over thousands of years, people became nomadic and spread across the continents as we know it today. We all bleed red, so why does race even matter anymore?

Answer 7

Races are an illusion, because all members of our species can breed, and produce viable offspring...

Primarily, these various outward appearances arose from pockets of humans living in isolated regions, and adapting to particular environments, which ultimately adjusted body size, body hair, skin color, hair texture and eye color...

Science estimates that it takes tribes in isolation, in new environments, appx. 20,000 years to go from black hair to light colored hair, and brown brown eyes to light-colored eyes...

Answer 8

God created them.
Fair skin people in the colder climates,
darker skin people in the warmer ones.
