    How many races are there in the world?

    4 major races.

    The world population can be divided into 4 major races, namely white/Caucasian, Mongoloid/Asian, Negroid/Black, and Australoid. This is based on a racial classification made by Carleton S. Coon in 1962 (in common usage the ‘Capoid’ and ‘Congoid’ groups classified by Coon is merged under ‘Negroid’). There is no universally accepted classification for “race”, however, and its use has been under fire over the last few decades. The United Nations, in a 1950 statement, opted to “drop the term ‘race’ altogether and speak of “ethnic groups”. In this case, there are more than 5,000 ethnic groups in the world, according to a 1998 study published in the Scientific American.http://www.numberof.net/number-of-races-in-the-world/

    You are loosing it!! However, I have forgotten what "it" is. Can you tell me once again?

    Here all race have been postpone,for it has been so hot weather wise,no one want to race.

    facebook

    Everyone is racing to the beach to cool off.

    sociologists say there are only 3 races -------- Caucasian, Negroid, and Asian.  All others, are just a culture or a religion. For example, Arabs are considered Causcasian, even tho' their skin may be light brownish .

    There are only two race that I know and that is "Humand Race" & " Animals Race".

    What about the egg and spoon race.
