Question

Are different races genetic mutations of a primary race?

Answer 1

The problem with the question is that it makes the false assumption that different races have different genes, when really they are all pretty much the same.  You gene for skin color is only a very small portion of your genotype, and isn't dependent on any other genes.  So you could have two Koreans and an African, and Korean A and the African would be more genetically similar than Korean B.

Answer 2

No.

Races were developed by alien intervention.  Blonds in the north could not have evolved from black people in Africa.  If so, we should see that evolution now, but we dont

Answer 3

Yes they are. Every one came from Africa aka the black man.  And don't believe that adapting to environment bulls**t.. You can put the darkest African in the Caucus mountain forever and he will NEVER turn WHITE. But a defect in the DNA cell for melanin CAN TURN A PERSON WHITE. People who say there is just one race and thats the human race are mistaken. look in any encyclopedia and you will see races of humans that are no longer living. It proves there wasn't just one race of humans. Yes we are all human however there are differences within the races. If I were to put what the differences are here my comments will be taken down by Yahoo, the truth hurts. And the people who may be the genetic defect don't want to be reminded of it. So I wont remind you. There Are genetic differences within the races. It has been proven by DNA. Native Americans as a race are primarily blood type O. Other races have genetic diseases that are only applicable to them. These are facts. Some one said that Africans could have never made the blond hair Europeans. They are wrong. Do the research you will find very dark Africans with blond hair and blue eyes today in Africa. Europeans were shocked when they arrived in Australia and saw the Aborigines with their black skin and blond hair and blue eyes. And Australia had been isolated for thousands of years. Thats the last place the white man robbed and raped. Aboriginies have been isolated for so long that their DNA is used to tell where everyone else came from.

The Bible as well as DNA tell us that everyone on the planet shares common ancestors. But science has also taught us that other human forms have lived that are not like us genetically. Such as Neanderthal Man who shares none of our DNA. That was a species  of people that lived beside modern man but did not genetically mix with him. So there are races of people. I agree with the Alien comment. In the Bible Genesis Chapter 6  it states that "sons of God" aka Angels, aka Aliens had s*x with human women and had babies with them. Maybe the primary race is Chimps who share 98.7% of our DNA and the other 2.3% is Angel/Alien. Maybe we are all genetically mutated. And lets not forget every animal is capable of having albino babies. All ancient species of human didn't resemble modern man in many ways. And scientist can't explain how all of a sudden our brains got so big and we got so smart. I think humans as a race are arrogant and refuse to except that they are a mistake of nature and their only job is to destroy all the good things that the lord has created including the primary race! Save the Chimps!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

There is only one race. The human race. Your ethnicity is what you would call your "difference" from other humans. The changes are caused by the species adapting to a specific environment.

It is thought that all humans began from one general area (which correct me if I'm wrong but I believe is thought to be Africa at the moment) and changed when they split off and lived in new places.

Answer 5

That is one of many interesting theories I have heard and read about before.

Another one is that the different races originally colonized earth from different planets or different sectors of the galaxy.

Probably the most diverse species on the face of this earth is the canine species.  Look at the difference between a St. Bernard and a Chihuahua - and all the others in between!

WE HUMANS did that ourselves, time and time again, by mixing and matching breeds of dogs till we achieved all the characteristics we were looking for.  So now we have creatures as diverse as daschunds, shar-peis and afghan hounds, but they are ALL still DOGS!

It is possible that we humans became as diverse as we are through some sort of genetic "mix and match" situation of our own.  However, for that to have happened, there would have to have been AT LEAST two different races to start with.  There had to have been more than one option.  You can't "mix and match" with only one.

Answer 6

There is NO primary race.

There is but one race on the planet, if you are referring to humans.

We is it. Old Homo Sapiens Sapiens, us, we, ussens.

We is all out of Africa, don't Ya hate it when that happens?
