At the risk of being pedantic, there are only 3 actual races-Caucasian, Asian and Black-and they started mixing together probably 10’s of 1000’s of years ago, so there haven’t been any “pure races” since long before any historical record.

Neanderthals were a 4th race that got absorbed/died out more than 20,000 years ago-they don’t seem to have had enough people to maintain a good birthrate, probably from isolation and inbreeding early on because they were mostly isolated in cold places in the mountains of Europe and Asia-but they did breed with Caucasians and Asians before they faded out-that’s why we have 2-4-5% of their DNA-so we are them-but Blacks from Africa have none-guess they never got to Africa...

Mediterranean, Sub-Saharan, Pacific Islanders, Aborigines, etc are not “races”. They are mixed-race ethnic groups-so are Native Americans and so were the Ainu of Japan. So are people from Siberia and most of Europe that borders Asia-they are called Eurasians even today. I’m Hispanic-not a race-it is an ethnic group-racially speaking, I’m mostly Caucasian like most people of European/near Asian ancestry.

All that many races s*** is just racist garbage with no basis in science made to divide people-we are all just humans, and all mixed up since before people were into that racist stuff-maybe 20,000 year or so...

Nope.

If you read Darwin there are over 50 races.

Now granted I think Darwin was not totally correct but still if you look at it on the DNA level he is closer to correct than the idea of "three races".

It is silly to group the Aborigine in with the Twa or the Ainu with the Berber or the Tibetan with the Seminole.

Genetically they could not be further apart.
