We talk about races all the time, I am just wondering do we have some sort of grip as to what constitutes a race?

First on a very broad sense, from the looks of the people, I am just counting. You guys can correct me if I mix up a race with something else

1. Blacks: They must be a separate race. Mostly found in Africa.

2. Chinese: By the shape of their eyes and bone structure they seem a separate race.

3. Polynesian: Island people have heavy set bones and distint facial structures. Mostly in pacific islands. Maybe they have the same gene pool as aboriginal people of America and Australia

4. Caucasians: Light skin, light hair, colored eyes. Maybe they are the same people as Aariyans, who came from central asia to conquer India.

5. Indian aboriginals: The people in south india, short statured, dark skinned. They were the ones conquered by aariyans.

Arabs and others: From the facial structure they seem like caucasians, and then some cross-bred with other races to come up with different styles. Pathans, for example, have heavy-set bones but fair complexion like caucasians. I don't know if these should be considered separate races or what.

Many races are now present due to cross-breed, but I am trying to which are the original races of mankind.

There's me and then there's everybody else.

Hellow http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/french.gif

Sudanese:
I think we can separate Sudanese from Africans, because their a bit round facial structure

French:
you can recognize them fairly easy, just by looking their nose!
Their noses are entirely different from other Europeans! They are prettiest in France.
Italians could be counted in the same race! But they have black hairs.

Japanese:
Although we can count them in chaptays, but they are very fair, clean and sophisticated.

Punjabis:
They are the most populated race all over the world, you can find them anywhere, and can be recognized very easily.

Pathwari bhai,

well theres the 50m dash, the 100m, the 400m, 400m relay, 800m, 1500m steeplechase. Then theres the marathon.....

Akif. Thank you.

Correct me if I'm wrong but when Pristine mentions race it means SKIN TONE and PHSYICAL FEATURES (not a generalization of phsyical features).

Punjabis are NOT a race.
French can't be considered a race.

Well as my grandfather use to say when he explained Adam and Eve to me as a kid that there are 5 different colours of clay mankind was made out of just to differentiate Ali #1 from Ali #2 and not segregate or make a race superior. So in random order I'll jot down the colours.

RED - North American

WHITE - European

BLACK - Mostly Originated from African Continent.

BROWN - East Asia, this race i believe is a mix between black and yellow and the odd white at times.

YELLOW - Asia

I think these are the original race colours.

Sometimes we tend to fall into the cultural aspect of race which I think ATA fell into. Whoever started this problem of segregating colours had to be closed minded. We all stand under the same bloomin' tree!

I didn't get the difference between red and white? Don't they share the same skin color and facial structure?

Also, the aboriginals of America and Australia... You putting them in brown, yellow or black?

And the aariyans of central asia... they were whites or reds?

RED - INDIANS (Aboriginals)

aariyans of central asia - mostly white

Well, I believe that we all come from Adam and Eve nor from some monkeys. Hence, there is no chance of having more than one race - the human race coz there won't be any chance of monkeys mixing with humans or half monkeys mingling with the half humans. We were all created humans and that's the only race. The colour, physique etc are there to classify us and probably due to the affect of the climatic conditions.

well... you right and thanks for the correction, I never knew that just

but I still insist for two, to be called as a race due to specific physical features!
as I mentioned in case of French! and Punjabi features are very obvious as well

Well there's kashewnuts, kokonuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts 'n other nuts.

WHITE from RUSSIAN /central asian areas

Yellow are chineese Breeed

Brown are middle eastern/east asian ppl

Black are from Africa

american ****s dont have any race, they are mixture of all breeds

and all races have been evolutionised by area, weather, food, living conditions. and cross breeding also occurs in Humans

Simple isnit ???

So isn't it better that they are try not to segregation? After all any religion detests segregation. But since we're talking about race here, all people evolutionized through mixtures.
