Are any particular races of humans becoming endangered?

Answer 1

Yes! your race is.

Answer 2

Peoples are continually dying out everywhere on the planet just like languages.

Some groups which are seriously threatened right now include the *Saami (or Lapps) of northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia, the *Fuegian Indians of Southern Chile and Argentina, the *Pygmies and *Watusi of Zaire, the *Khoi (or Bushmen ) of South Africa, the *Moken. a fishing people of Thailand and the "gentle" *Tasaday of the Philippines, even the *Cambodians. Between 3 and 5 million Cambodians were slaughtered by the Communist Khmer Rouge between 1975 and 1977.

I think we've all seen the pictures of the horrible skull towers of Cambodians killed by the Khmer Rouge.

The *Ainu of northern Japan and the *Guanches (a Berber people) of the Canary Islands are nearly gone. Anthropologists and Ethnologists are not certain if there are any pure Ainu or Guanches still living.

Extinction has not been occurring just among Asian, African and Native American peoples. There have been some Caucasian groups too. For example, whatever happened to the Germanic Goths, Vandals and Lombards ("Long beards" ) who came into the Roman Empire in the 5th century A.D.? They are all gone too or nearly so today.

The Shakers, a Protestant religious sect in the northeastern United States, has dropped from about 3,500 members in the 1840's to fewer than 5,000 today. This was because they believed in celebacy they did not procreate (i.e. have any children of their own). As time went on, they survived only by adopting children or taking in occasional new adult converts.

However, for the foreseeable future most East Asians (Primarily Chinese & Japanese), Slavs (Russians, Ukrainians, Poles) and Western Europeans (which still includes most Americans) seem to be reasonably safe. The most endangered peoples are mainly among the peoples with the smallest populations. These are mostly hunter-gatherer peoples and people who live by fishing or subsistance farming.

Answer 3

Mostly indigenous people, there is a tribe in Brazil which is almost extinct because of deforestation.

I just found this site which might interest you. It is an article about endangered humans and the reasons why they are endangered. You can probably just skim-read it and find the information you want. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1374/is_4_63/ai_104971401

Just to name a few recently in the news: the Hmong, the Sentinelese. Also, two of the world's most endangered tribes (Great Andamanese and Shompen) may have now perished due to Tsunami floods.

Answer 4

Not race but ethnic groups.

Languages are dying out every day and so are various ethnic groups dying out.

Groups like Eskimos, Watusi, Pygmies, and bushmen (San) are all endanged of extinction.

And believe it or not the Caucasian is also an endangered species (so called 'white people') since there are only about 800 million 'white' people out of 6 billion people on earth, white people are an international minority.

Answer 5

Not in the biological (genetic) sense. There is only one race - us.

On the other hand, cultures, cultural practices, and languages are going extinct. This is partly because of Westernization and Globalization (and because of colonialism in the past). However, cultures and languages have always been fluid and changing.

Answer 6

Native Americans. Definitely.

Answer 7

Every living person on the planet can trance their ancestry back to one single woman who lived 160,000 years ago. DNA has proved it. Thus we are but one race - human.

Answer 8

I would stay so becuase people are crossing some many races. I do have to say that if people did not cross races I would not be here right now.

Answer 9

Yes the one that lives on earth.

Answer 10

"BIG YES"

The Races know as BOYS and MEN

Threatened by Girls and Women....lol
