How many different races are there in the world and what determines a race?

There's only ONE race and that is the HUMAN RACE!

There is no such thing as race. There was a study done on human DNA, within the last ten years anyway, typing and comparing the DNA of people of many different "racial" backgrounds. Of course all the Asians expected to be genetically closer to Asians than anyone else, but it actually turned out that one Asian girl was closest genetically to her black male classmate. We are really very much alike under our skin.\nHumans are the closest to each other genetically. It's amazing. There can be as little as one nucleotide difference that distinguishes your DNA from mine.\nYou're totally right. People is people.

Mestizo. (Mixed European- White and American Indian.) It's not technically a race, but it tells who they are genetically.

There are Mongoloid Asians (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, etc.) and there are Caucasoid Asians (Persians, Arabs, Indians, etc.). Skin color has absolutely nothing to do with race. The term "white" is not meant to be taken literally. Race is more about skull size and bone structure. By definition, Caucasian ("white") people are those whose ancestry originated in not only Europe but North Africa, the Middle East, South Asia as well as much of Central Asia.

"Many evolutionary and social scientists think common race definitions, or any race definitions pertaining to humans, lack taxonomic rigour and validity. They argue that race definitions are imprecise, arbitrary, derived from custom, and that the races observed vary according to the culture examined. They further maintain that race is best understood as a social construct. Other scientists, however, have argued that this position is motivated more by political than scientific reasons."\n\nI'd take the latter opinion in this one.  If you think back to Slave trade and the justification the old governing bodies gave to the use of Africans. That "Negros" were said to be more animal like than human and not to be regarded as men.  I truly believe that the use of the term race is misused to and over used.  It portrays a divide in the mind of the listener every time it's used.  \n\nWe are all of the Human Race and if some kind of intelligent creature from another planet came for a visit and started to categorize do you really think they'd stop to count the almost 200 countries on our planet?  I think not.  We may be split into different subtypes for our genes do differ and so too our health issues and physical abilities (No I'm not gonna waste our time pointing them out). \nWe are very closely related to apes but as far as I've researched we cannot (and should not) procreate with them. \n\n"Groups incapable of producing fertile offspring with each other are universally considered distinct species, and not merely different "races" of the same species."\n\n"Do human races exist?\n\n    * Racial realism\n          o Racial naturalism: races are important biological or natural kinds\n          o Racial constructionism: races are not biological kinds, but they are social constructs\n    * Racial skepticism: race does not exist\n\n\nWhat about subspecies/breed?\n\n    * The terms 'race' and 'subspecies' are often used synonymously, some argue this is the correct definition (Kittles?).\n    * Typically, 'race' is used for humans and 'subspecies' or 'breed' for non-humans.\n    * When they are distinguished, 'race' is generally a lower level category than 'subspecies'."\n\nIf the above statement is true and people nonchalantly calling my parents are two different races are truthsayers too, then I (and millions if not billions) of other could never have been born.   \nWell the statement is true but obviously there is no such thing as "mixed-race" only mixed heritage or background.  \n\nI love having multiple heritages to draw from.  Makes me feel like more of a person and not just a number.  Especially when filling out those equal opportunity forms and still, after all these years, can't find a box to tick.\n\nIn short; don't listen to the hype about the word "race". \nIt's not meant to be used in the same way as when we talk about other earthlings (animals), like the word "breed".  But people do use it.  Maybe someday, like certain words that are now considered heinous, abusive and or simply incorrect, "race" will take a back seat and culture and heritage will take their rightful usage.

Here's one by race and one by ancestry, hope this helps.

For all you people who said "human race" ... get it right, it's HUMAN SPECIES.\n\nThere are three primary races \n\nYellow - Asians\nBlack - Africans\nWhite - Europeans\n\nand two secondary races that some scientists consider offshoots of "yellow/Asian", but these two secondary races have enough distinct biological differences to comprise their own race:\n\nRed - American Indian\nAborigine - Asian Indian/Austrialian Islander

I not know about a race, but most religions have simlar values and moral beliefs.  The might seem different but if you boil them down to their basics they are basically the same thing. So if God had a race he would have won a long time ago.

We are all human. The only difference at times would be skin color, cultural and religious beliefs. Certainly nothing that should make one race feel superior to any other!

Yes, welcome to reality. There are two races of man in this world ever since the addition of a second man, the last Adam, who is the Messiah. Previously you had only one choice of race in which to belong and that was Adams race. Of course, the choice was easy and made for you, as you were born into it and automatically enjoyed its many benefits and privileges, among which were sin and death. Now, however, thanks to the death burial and resurrection of the Christ you are offered a rare opportunity to join a  separate race. It too has benefits and privileges, among which are holiness and eternal life. Your choice. Choose wisely.

There is supposed to be a third race of blonde nordic types.  Supposedly these were the enemies of the Annunaki (reptilians) in ancient times whichmakes them the "good" guys.

Human race. Pretty soon there will only be one race anyway so it would be a moot point.
