Name of the study, studying differences between physicalities in races?
930636
At one time there was a "scientific" discipline called Anthropometry, in other words "the measure of man".  People thought that by getting measurements of people they could be classified into various racial types and sub-types.  The rise and fall of this pseudo-science is described in the first reference below.  After much study, science has switched to trying to understand the similarities and differences between various human populations using genetics.  Mitochondrial DNA is only inherited from your mother, and mutations of these chromosomes has been shown to shed light on the radiation of modern humans out of Africa (2Nd ref.)  Also, the Human Genome Project has pretty much ended race studies as such - human similarity vastly outweighs difference.

Hi Meredith,\n\nExcellent topic. The keyword you are therefore looking for on the Internet is "eugenics", i.e.  the study of methods of improving genetic qualities by selective breeding. (Remember the name of one of the protagonists in the movie : Eugene - rings a bell? )\n\nThere are a lot of articles on that topic according to google. Try this one for example: http://theoccidentalquarterly.com/vol4no1/toq-editnote4-1.html \n\nGood luck !

Genetic predisposition among other things.

There are certain identifiable characteristics that can be found in some blood samples. The most prominent example is Sickle Cell anemia.  \nThat's just from blood. However, from DNA markers, it is possible to identify certain genomes that would give you a pre-disposition to certain races.  It may not be a definative race, but it could narrow down possibilities until you can come up with a high probability.

no, it is exactly alike, hormones and diet and lifestyle is what effects this, it has nothing whatsoever to do with race

i saw three studies on this one was 6", the other 5 1/2", the other was 5 1/4", so I would say 5 1/2" is the average, if you are refering to a white male.

For accurace information, check out:\n\nhttp://www.sizesurvey.com/result.html\n\nThey have results, photos, and measurement criteria for a broad range of types of guys - white, black, asian, tall, short, fat, skinny, etc.

different kinds of people, mixed kinds of people with different temperaments, colors, etc

I wouldn't think that race would matter as much as culture.  Culture would affect you physcological state more than simply your ethnic origins.

Ofcourse it does.  But not if you mean "matter" in a negative context.  I believe it is our differences that make life interesting.  Certainly, the variations in skin color go far to making us interesting looking.  How boring would  it be if we all looked the same.  Unfortunately, in this world "different" seems to equal "bad", "less-than", or "insufficient".  If you don't equate skin color with the negative, you can experience the beautiful spectrum of the human race, just as you would the plants and flowers in a garden. The completion of the mapping of the human genome may well put the race/color question to rest.  At present, from what I understand, it seems there are strong indications that we're all related in some way. If you only see difference as negative, what a shame for you!  You could be rejecting a part of yourself.

library.  Biology or physiology.  Ask the librarian.

This is something believed by some researchers  in some prestigious univeristies: There are more similarities than differences between cultures.Cultural differences decide the way something is percieved or felt. Surely there is a study of somekind in soem language about this phenomenon

YES\nhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2004/03/040309073256.htm\n"This particular study, along with others, strongly suggests that sexual preference is biologically determined in animals, and possibly in humans," said the study's lead author, Charles E. Roselli, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, OHSU School of Medicine. "The hope is that the study of these brain differences will provide clues to the processes involved in the development and regulation of heterosexual, as well as homosexual, behavior."

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.

Pretty simple actually.  The original man and woman had great complexity in their genes.  When God made different languages at the tower of Babel, this divided people into groups- thus splitting the gene pool.  Different features survived better in different climates.  For example, in a hot, sunny climate people with dark skin absorbed less ultraviolet light, but people with fair skin got too much.  They either got various diseases and died, or moved to an area with shorter days.  That's just one example.  The differences that we see (skin color, hair type, etc.) is a small fraction of all the things the different "races" have in common.  There is actually only one race- the human race.  \nSkin color is what people tend to focus on the most.  But we actually all have the same skin color, caused by the pigment melanin, we just have different amounts of it. And how much is determined by genetics.  \nActs 17:26 says "and He made from one blood, every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times, and the boundaries of their habitation..."\nIt's just simple genetics.  And look what we've done with it.
