Does a pure race really exist?

Answer 1

There might still be tribes of people that are yet undiscovered but we don't know how they may have been originally composed for it is just as possible that these undiscovered groups grew from the unions of differing groups.

It seems that, anthropologically, mathematically and based on migratory patterns, that it's almost certain that we cannot have 100% purity. Consider the great hordes of Mongols who went through China, the steppes of the former USSR and into Europe, Alexander's excursions, the Ottoman Em;pire, the invasions of the Western Hemisphere by Europeans, importation of Slaves throughout Europe, the Western Hemisphere, and I could go on ad nauseum about the Roman Empire, Attilla the Hun, the Crusades or, for that matter, just use the history of the British Isles as an example for there is no such thing as a PURE English, irish, Welch, Scotch, all of these were derivatives of many other kinds of people who became mixed,

I doubt that it's even remotely possible for these and other reasons too numerous to enumerate. Here's the present state of the World Population;

Population:
6,602,224,175 (July 2007 est.)
Age structure:
0-14 years: 27.4% (male 931,551,498/female 875,646,416)
15-64 years: 65.1% (male 2,174,605,518/female 2,124,494,703)
65 years and over: 7.5% (male 217,451,123/female 278,474,917) (2007 est.)

200 years ago, the population of the World was 1 billion.

Answer 2

There has never been a pure race. The Creator created Adam and Eve. They gave birth to males and females so and so on. Which means Adam and Eve had all the races in there blood, and as each married more of that gene became stronger, or less dominate. some call it evolution, wrong word. Breeding is more accurate. Why do you think a stran of DNA will wrap around the earth?

Answer 3

Are you referring to an unadulterated cultural system? I believe there are a few primitive cultures that exist. But very few. The opportunity of the availability for mobility, globally, has had a strong effect on cultural "purity". If a tribe is discovered by explorers, they loose are no longer a "pure" culture.

Answer 4

The closest thing to a "pure race" would be the San "bushmen" in the South Africa area. All "races" HAVE been traced to having origins in central west Africa.

Answer 5

No. There is always some interbreeding between different ethnic groups, even when they have ideologies that discourage it. I suppose Australian aborigenes and Native Americans were physically isolated enough that they could have been considered pure races, but they sure as hell aren't anymore.

Answer 6

In the 21st century, I doubt it. The so-called "races" (Causasians, Mongolians, Africans, Australians) are but ONE race but they differed in characteristics because of differences in the environment. Who knows, after a few years of GLOBAL WARMING, we will all be FREAKS of NATURE!

Answer 7

HUMAN RACE is the pure race

Answer 8

Yes. One, and one only. The Human Race.

Answer 9

no half the raciest out there are all mixed up from way back in the day when everyone just hated blacks all except for there cooking, inventions, and p u s s y,

Answer 10

Very good posts guys, I wasn't actually thinking of the 'human race' answer.
