DO YOU BELIEVE ALL RACES ( including white, asian and black) come from...?

It doesn't make sense to say the oldest person found was "caucasoid" because racial differences didn't start to appear before people migrated to different continents. The colour of the skin of the oldest humans I doubt if scientists could ever determine because all they have is bones. I really don't see why it matters what colour their skin was. Probably dark because they had to survive in the hot sun. There is absolutely no dispute that humans began in Africa.

I hope that we evolve enough to stop classifying our self's as black American ... Hispanic...white Asian.. etc.. and accept that we are all Americans regardless of our skin pigmentation... divided we fall...........peace.

Maybe the "survival of the fittest"-rule doesn't count for every little detail in the genetic code. Is this possible?\n\nMaybe there was no particular function for this. Maybe the forefathers of asians and caucasians where quite simply different looking, one moved west the other east. They had no more contact and so each developed into a distinct race, with their own features.\n\nI don't know, i'm neither a biologist, nor a historian, nor anything else. \nIntriguing question. congratulations.

I do believe that there were people who lived in England decades and decades ago who were from African descent.  I have met several black people who were from England and their ancesters were from England many years back.  That doesn't necessarily mean that you have any black blood in you.  If you look a little exotic, that doesn't mean anything.  The caucasian race is widely diversified . . . there are blondes, redheads, brunettes, and those with black hair.  Their complexions range from the very pale to the very tanned.  I would consider you a caucasiion if your family tells you that you are.

As said by a great man: All men are created equal. I agree totally - we're all born naked and defenseless. From then on though, it changes - we go home to our own families.\n\nMe, I'm Caucasian. Superior race, Caucasians? No. \n\nThe superior race is a myth. \n\nDid white man do superior things once arriving on American or Australian shores? The Spanish and Portugese explorers of South America, superior perhaps? Did the Mongols prove superiority by conquering all lands from China to central Europe? Are the Chinese superior for realising that over-population is a reality that must be confronted? The Polynesians and Micronesians who traveled up to 2000 kms by kayak in the Pacific, are they superior? The aboriginals of Australia who forced animals into extinction through over hunting, would they be superior? The Ancient Egyptians for the pyramids, or the Ancient Greeks for their contribution to philosophy and mathematics, superior? \n\nPersonally, I am of the opinion that the Romans were superior (in their time). I base this on the weaponry, military tactics, aqua ducts, their acceptance of paganism, the technology, and just to surprise you all, they were the first civilization to have field hospitals on the battlefield. They also had weaponry that was superior to that which was available to Napoleon II of France (circa 18th cetury). \n\nAs for superior today? \n\nOnly the man with $ in his pocket. That is superiority now.\n\nCheers, L

anthropologist describe three distinct races...Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid..when discussing the origin of man.   Is that what you are asking?

Well to be fair, I'm Asian and I tried fitting in the predominately "white" community of my hometown....but I just wasn't taken seriously as a friend. It's hard to fit in w/ people outside your race b/c there are all these barriers and such.  I mean it's easy for you to say we seclude ourselves, but we don't have a role amongst a group of "whites" except as a token, a mascot if you will. But I think after a few more generations, Asians will be considered Americans instead foreigners.

You speak of them as if they're another species. Yes, I've seen a PERSON of mixed Asian and black heritage. What's your point?

they were just chosen. if race is such a menial issue then why did it matter what race they were? i tell you what would have been racist, if they had chosen the children, seen that they were all white and then gone out of their way to find a black/asian/hispanic child. tokenism should be discouraged.

Oooh... it's nice to know that some people actually want to be Asian. I always thought that Asian people would be treated unequally by some people because of their skin color (heck, I've run into some racists when I was on a trip to Australia) but it sure makes my day when somebody says that they would want to be an Asian. \n\nSuddenly, I'm so glad that I'm an Asian... I always thought that being caucasian was to be a fairer but I never thought that being an Asian is to be sexy...\n\nYou just made my day! Thanks! =p

No, they decend from a different genetic line from Africans or Europeans.  They are genetically isolated to Asia, just as "whites" are genetically isolated to Europe, and "Blacks" are genetically isolated to "Africa" (and wherever they were sold as slaves).

No, you're right. You're 50% Asian, 25%Indian, and 25%Black.

Here's a sincere answer:  No.  It has nothing to do with race.  Don't believe generalities like that when you hear them.

Why don't you Yahoo Search or Google this because I don't the average person knows what you're getting at. One thing I'm not going to do is to talk about different races, because everyone is the same inside only a little different\noutside. Do you compretend?

Homogeneous just means the same, or uniform throughout.  It doesn't necessarily apply to race.  You can certainly have a genetically homogeneous population, but that is a much higher level of sameness than a racially homogeneous population.  Within any racial group there is a huge amount of genetic variability.  \n\nOK, Kurdiatcha's response to my analysis is entirely correct. I will point out, though, that I never said it was anything other than speculation.  At any rate, I hadn't slept in about 3 days, and in that context my analysis made perfect sense to me.  Sorry!\n\nNew theory: I think the perseption that there is more physical diversity in Europe than Africa or Asia could be partially explained by the fact that Europe is geographically smaller.  So it's just that all the different groups are more crammed together and it ends up looking more diverse.\n_________\n\n>>>It was one of the better responses I’ve seen on Yahoo\n>>>answers. It just happened to be incorrect.\nSo I never use the expression "lol," but it seems rather appropriate here.  That was well said.  Thanks : )\n\nYou're probably right on my other theory too.  I should just stop speculating on this entirely.  I do want to point out, though, that the guy who posted the question and said Europeans look more different than Asians is Asian (at least he said so in another question), so I don't think you're entirely correct that people are always more tuned in to difference within their own racial group.  I wouldn't have bothered to speculate on the issue at all (after you shoot down my first theory, that is) except I thought it could possibly hold some tinsy bit of truth because of that.

I like to take a few things from all races.... as far as fashion goes. I am white and I was born with a big ol booty, thick hair and big lips.....so guess its not just a black thang anymore. I really don't understand the conflict between black and white.....I live in the south and its always a heated debate. We live in this world together and I think that we just need to open our eyes and realize that. Learn from one another

Well, I think this kind of questions are very debatable.\nNone can answer it correctly. Each race will argue that thier race is stronger and another will deny that.
