What is the oldest human race?

Question

What is the oldest human race?

Answer 1

Since race is a social construction, I see no point to asking the question.

Answer 2

the first homo sapiens shown up in africa some thousands years ago..  and the they were spread all over the world... considering the climate of africa the were probably black...

Answer 3

The most widely accepted view among current anthropologists is that Homo sapiens originated in the African savanna around 200,000 BP (Before Present), descending from Homo erectus, had inhabited Eurasia and Oceania by 40,000 BP, and finally inhabited the Americas approximately 10,000 years ago.

Answer 4

How many human races are there??

Answer 5

The oldest Human group appears to be the San Bushman of Africa.  I think Haplogroup better explains ethnicity than race... which is based on skin color.  Africa contains Haplogroup L0 thru L7 & some Africans from east Africa (the horn of Africa)are much closer to European haplogroups than to other Africans. North Africa & the Mid East contain a lot of Haplogroup M & N... the founding haplogroups for Europeans,  Asians,  Australians & Native Americans.

Answer 8

I have just read an answer to this question, and it has been rubbished a few times. It's obvious to me the person has given it some thought before answering, And I think it is sad that people give a thumbs down just because they don't agree with the person.

Answer 9

There is no "race" no living that is older than another. We all share a common ancester.

Answer 10

The Boston Marathon which held its 112th race on April 21, 2007.

ACTUALLY>>>>>>>>Three fossil skulls from Ethiopia have been revealed as the oldest human remains yet discovered.

Please pick the one that answers your question.

Answer 11

The question as written is meaningless, as all existing human populations are descended from a common ancestor and are therefore equally "old".  A related, but subtly different question might be "Which extant human population diverged from the others first?".  Significant controversy exists around this point, but various geneticists have suggested that the Koi/San of South Africa are the most likely candidate for this group.

Answer 12

probably the 3-legged. although the egg and spoon has been around a while too.

Answer 13

The Black Africans were the first branch of humanity to evolve, and as such we are all descendants from those first explorers who set foot outside of that harsh environment in search of an easier life, and then due to environmental considerations the variations in race we see now evolved gradually over perhaps 100,000 years, so the people of each race are suited to the environment they were born into, with the exception of white and black americans, white australians, and other people who left their ancesteral lands to live in a different part of the world, but evoultion will triumph and we will all look the same in about another 100,000 years

Answer 14

human race

Answer 15

The Khoisan bushmen of the Kalahari have the most diverse mitochondrial and Y chromosome type, and they possess the highest frequency of the mt DNA and Y chromosome that everyone Else's is descended from. They are probably the closest to the founders of our species, they've certainly been around for the longest.

Answer 16

When will you people ever learn. There is only the one human race, and any bipedals who came before us were unrelated Apes. We arrived on earth just like every other species, fully formed and ready to go. We did not evolve from any other species, and we will not evolve into some other species. The only evolving we will do will be here on earth while we as a species survive. We will become extinct just as all the other species before us, and some thing else will fill our niche.There is not a bit of evidence for any of the rubbish thats been dished up for us to swallow over the past 200 years.
