Why are there people of different race and color? How did that came about?

The different skin colors have evolved as response to the different environmental conditions in which the various populations (don't call it "races": any modern biologist refuses this concept as meaningless) have developed.\nIt is generally accepted that Homo Sapiens originated in Africa, then gradually migrated to the other continents, especially after the introduction of agriculture and the consequent demographic explosion. Our African ancestors must have been all black, because at those latitudes the skin needs to protect from sun rays and this protection is achieved by dark pigments.\nMoving to the north, where the sun is weaker, an intense pigmentation was no longer an evolutionary advantage, but a flaw, because another effect of sun exposure is to trigger D vitamin production. Therefore, in thousands of years, the skin of northern people gradually changed to white.\nNote that the reverse is also true: Australian natives are darker than their ancestors migrating north to south from Asia.\nIn conclusion, the skin color is just the result of a balance between the need for skin protection (prevent skin cancer) and that for skin transparency (promote D vitamin production).

Entirely social. Genetically, racial categories don't exist. There is more variation WITHIN groups than there are BETWEEN groups.\n\nAlso, Race and Ethnicity are completely different. Sociorace is how people treat you based on your physical appearance, despite of your language, religion, culture, history, etc.

Because we are all different...that is the way we are suppose to be.  \n\nit is hard to understand other's beause we are not them.

Because we are all different and raised with different backgrounds,different ideas

Because some people are afraid of people that are different or look different than they are. Or they are just racist. Either way, people need to realize that it's just skin, inside we're all the same.

there is not such a thing as a racial stock. the concept of races was an invention of the colonialist European 19th century, who tried to make biological categories of people.\nNowdays, with developments of genetics we know that the three main races as defined in that period doesn't corespond to biological realities.  Genetically there is one human specie, that's all, inside wich one you can find any  variation possible of individual characteristics in a continuum.\n\nOnly some countries in the world such as the USA continues to classify people in these imaginary categories, to maintain domination of one group in particular.

Different race. Different origin. Different culture. Everything but human status.

Black people generally are physically dominant to all other races and therefore have strong voices.\nThey are, on the other hand, usually not as intellectually equip as some others.\nIt is obvious why if you can just take an honest look at it. Where do blacks originate from and where do whites originate from. Flared nostrils are for greater air intake. greater muscle mass for running and fighting. Heightened sense of awareness to detect danger. They needed these things to survive in an African environment. A high IQ does little to help one out run a lion.\nWhites and some Asian people on the other hand had to be able to plan well ahead in order to survive a harsh winter. They needed to finds the means and invent many things to help them survive. Though blacks and some other warmer climate peoples needed to use their intelligence to survive as well and whites and certain Asian peoples needed some physical abilities to make it too, each of the peoples were giving and or developed what they needed most to survive in the premodern world.\nIn each case there are exceptions, however generally these are where the gifts and talents of most of the people in the particular races fall.

We are all Americans, all of us, and to imply that one color of people should only stick to one color is discrimination.  Which is kinda ironic considering that most of the people who stick to one race color are the same people who whine about everyone else being racist.  We are one people, at the DNA level we're all human and skin color shouldn't really matter much.  This sorta devision is what keeps racism a issue, because if people can't relate to each other they are going to dislike or be suspicious of each other.  Frankly, the sooner we realize that the only race that matters is the human race, the better.

Race doesn't come into play for me when meeting, having friends or dating.  Everyone is a human being and the color on the outside has nothing to do with the person on the inside.  Everyone is the same physically on the inside, but race, creed or religion has nothing to do with "who that person is".  It's all about what jives and what doesn't.

It's all a word game. One person's definition of 'race' is different from another person's. The philospher Ludwig Wittgenstein taught that all philosphical disagreements are caused by ambiguity in language. Some people think of 'race' as being the equivilent to 'species'. In that case they would argue that all humans are the same 'race'. Others define race as the outward observable physical characteristics, especially related to the color of the skin. People can say whatever they want. It doesn't make it true.

NOT THAT I KNOW! Because i have not really meet people of diferent races. Altougth i dont think nothing would change this answer, because i dont believe the race makes the people personality.

They are classified Caucasian by the scientific community so that would make them another type of white person.  There are a lot more than just the 3 races though and as people have become more intelligent we all realize there are many different types and colors of people in this world than use to be recognized by the scientific community.  With the mixing of so many different types of people there are  races we didn't even think about 20 years ago.  So, I guess your question really doesn't even matter in the grand scheme of things.

There is a story in the bible (forgive me b/c I forget which book it is in) but it talks about why God created different languages & why he set apart different people. It talks about race & how it was not something that was created but something that the world & the environment around us has evolved.  That is why people closer to the equater have darker skin & those farther away have lighter skin, etc.. It explains all of that so keep reading.. You'll get there.. Oh yeah & dinosaurs are in the bible as well.. Trust me..

Many of the slaves that came to America were sold into slavery by other Africans.  Slavery went on long before it was a part of American history, and still goes on today in Third World countries.  \n\nIt goes to show that skin color doesn't matter, that we're all human, and as humans we can be pretty un-evolved and low if we choose to be.  People around the world are greedy and uncompassionate and will do almost anything to each other for money.  \n\nOf course what will stop slavery is when human rights, civil rights and economic power are granted to everyone, and that means men and women equally, and also to all races equally.  Those who are lower on the power scale have to keep fighting for their rights, since power is always taken, never given.  \n\nHope this helps.  Cheers, K (teacher and traveler who has yet to go to Africa but wants to)

hmmm...interesting, I have one to write too. 10 pages....anyway...every race is racist against others.  I would think more whites are racists because they are a superior race. But then.there are alot of blacks that are racist against whites because of the past and vice versa. Hispanics are racist against blacks and whites because most think they are better...( a ran culture) the funny thing is I am white, black, cuban, native, and phillipino. and its not the color that bothers me its more of the person. i hope this helped you out.

I agree with you and wonder why some people are Racist, too.\n\nI believe that racism arises when people get lazy and want to feel superior to others: It is easier for people to judge people based on the OUTSIDE of the person instead of taking the time to get to know the INSIDE of a person.\n\nIn fact, a vast majority of evolutionary/ biological/ psychological scientists argue against the definition or label of "race".\n\nIt is true that, genetically speaking there are certain similarities between ethnic subgroups of people but this does NOT change the fact that overall, we are the same (Homo sapien sapien) and we are all equal in the eyes of our loving Creator!\n\n:)
