{{Race}}

The term '''race''' or '''racial group''' usually refers to the ] categorization of ]s into ]s or ]s on the basis of various sets of ] characteristics.<ref name="AAPA"> American Association of Physical Anthropologists "Pure races do not exist in the human species today, nor is there any evidence that they have ever existed in the past."</ref> The most widely used human racial ] are based on salient visual ]s (especially ], ] or ] and ]), and self-identification.<ref name="AAPA" /><ref>Bamshad, Michael and Steve E. Olson. , ''Scientific American Magazine'' (10 November 2003).</ref>.

Some scientists argue that although race is a safe ] concept in other species, it cannot be applied to humans.<ref>S O Y Keita, R A Kittles, C D M Royal, G E Bonney, P Furbert-Harris, G M Dunston & C N Rotimi, 2004 "Conceptualizing human variation" in ''Nature Genetics'' 36, S17 - S20 </ref>. The ]'s view of race varies a lot at time from the ] version of race <ref>]</ref>.

More recent genetic studies indicate that skin colour may change radically over as few as 25 generations, or about 2,500 years, given the influence of the environment.<ref> by Robert Krulwich. Morning Edition, National Public Radio. 2 Feb 2009.</ref>

Huxley states: 'It is to the Xanthochroi and Melanochroi, taken together, that the absurd denomination of "Caucasian" is usually applied'.<ref>] "" (1870) ''Journal of the Ethnological Society of London''</ref>]]

The usual ] involved over the years to define people by common pseudo-scientific (non-scientific) list of physical features. The belief was those who looked alike were derived from a common ancestor (like the children of a big family looking like their 2 common parents). In ] the people of the World divided in to 4 or in some cases 5 categories, based on skin colour and to a degree the shape of the face as well. The categories were as follows, by ] times-

*White skinned= White/European (eg- ], ] and ]).
*Suntanned/Olive skinned= ] European (eg- ] and ]) and ] (eg-] and ]).
*Yellow skinned and slant eyed= ] (eg- ] ]s, ] and ]).
*Brown skinned= Indic/Indian (eg- ] and ]).
*Black skinned and flat nosed= Black/Negroid/Negro (eg- ] ]s, ]s and ]n ]s).

** A supposed 'Turkish' nose and a 'Jewish' nose could be theoretically taken as proof of ] or ] ancestral roots. The ] ] attitude towards identifying Jews relied on this pseudo-science! The Nazis also persecuted the ], who were considered part of the 'Indic' race.

** The ] of the ], ]'s ]/], ], ]'s ] and ] of ] were generally thought of as isolated and unrelated groups that had divided off early humans much earlier on in evaluation.

]

By about the ] the scientifically inclined Europeans were sub-dividing the 'White race' in to 3 or 4 supposed sub-races, which were-

* Blond hair, white skinned, blue or grey eyes= ]s/] (eg- ] and Dutch)
* Dark haired/ white skinned, brown eyed= ] (eg- Russians, ], English and ]).
* Dark haired, suntanned/olive skinned, brown eyed, normal nose= Mediterranean European (eg- Italians and ]). The ] was said to have bigger noses than ] people.
* Red hair, suntanned/olive or white skinned, brown or green eyes= ]/] (eg- ], ] and Dutch.

There was much prejudice based upon this perception of the world as the Europeans and Orientals both regarded them selves as superior to the other skin colours. This all lead to racism, a non-scientific theory, or ], that a particular race had become ] or ] to another via ]. It advocated that in the races that make up the human race, there are deep, biologically determined differences, which should not be crossed, because, it is "extremely undesirable. It also states races should live separately and not intermarry. A supporter of racism is called a ]. These attitudes in turn created the horrors of African ], ], the ]s, ] and ].

] which divides humanity in to 4 skin colour groups (Black, Brown, Yellow and White).]]

The mid ] racial classification by American anthropologist ], divided humanity into five races:

*Caucasoid (White) race
*Negroid (Black) race
*Capoid (Bushmen/Hottentots) race
*Mongoloid (Oriental/ Amerindian) race
*Australoid (Australian Aborigine and Papuan) race

In his landmark book '']'', Coon defined the ] as encompassing the regions of ], ], ], the ], ], and ].<ref>Carleton S. Coon, , (New York: Knopf, 1962)</ref> His work drew some charges of obsolete thinking or outright ] from a few critics, but some of the terminology he employed continues to be used even today, although the "-oid" suffixes now have in part taken on negative connotations.<ref> A Practical and Authoritative Guide to Contemporary English. 1996. Entry on "Race"</ref>

In the 21st-Century, Coon's role came under further critical scrutiny when ], noted that the American Coon, "actively aided the segregationist cause in violation of his own standards for scientific objectivity."<ref></ref>.


] would have been called an ‘Aryan‘ back then.]]

In the late ], ]ans began using the term '']'' to refer to the original ] ] and their descendants up to the present day (i.e., the ]--those ]s who are speak the ]). It was also assumed at the time, that, Aryans were a naturally ] superior people. By the late ], some ]ans began to use the name ''Aryan'' for only the ] peoples of Europe (one branch of the Indo-European peoples), as a "pure," "noble" and racially "superior" race they claimed were descended from the original ]. The ] that the Aryans first came from ] ] became especially popular in ] and to a lesser degree in ], ] and ].

There was much prejudice based upon this perception of the world as the Europeans and Orientals both regarded them selves as superior to the other skin colours, which lead to the horrors of African ], ], the ]s, ] and ]. The accidental misinterpretation of the works of ] (known as ]) only helped to fuel the non-scientific opinions of 'race' and 'racial superiority'.

===Genetics and haplogroups===

In ] (the study of ] in different living things), the ]s most commonly studied are ] ] haplogroups and ] ], both of which can be used to define the ']'.

]}} {{legend|#ff7a7a|Haplogroup A (Hg A)}}{{legend|#0085ff|] B (Hg B)}} All of these molecules are part of the ancestral haplogroup, but at some point in the past a mutation occurred in the ], mutation A, which produced a new lineage.]]

In ], the haplogroups most commonly studied are ] and ], both of which can be used to define genetic populations. Y-DNA is passed solely along the ] line, from father to son, while mtDNA is passed down the ] line, from mother to daughter. In theory the children of even a big family all share the DNA of their 2 common parents.

All of these DNA haplogroup molecules are part of the bigger ancestral haplogroup, but at some point in the past a mutation occurred in the ], mutation A, which produced a new lineage this is haplogroup A and is defined by it's mutation as mutation A. At some more recent point in the past, a new ], mutation B, occurred in a person carrying haplogroup A; mutation B defined haplogroup B. ] B is a subgroup, or subclade of haplogroup A; both haplogroups A and B are subgroups (subclades) of the ancestral haplogroup and so on.

For example- Korean males display a 35% frequency of the ] subclade and a lower frequency of ] and ]. ] is the predominant male lineage among the ].

Theoretically, ] is the random change in gene frequencies between generations, but, a few individuals may leave behind more descendants and thus genes than other individuals. The genes of the next generation will be the genes of these “lucky” individuals' children, not necessarily the healthier or “better” individuals' children.

==Social Darwinism, intelligence (IQ) and race==

]' refers to various ideologies based on a concept that competition is active among all individuals, or even whole nations as ] in human societies.<ref>{{cite book|last=Johnson|first=D. Paul|title=Contemporary Sociological Theory|publisher=Springer|location=Berlin|year=2008|pages=492|chapter=The Historical Background of Social Darwinism|quote=In the social realm the competitive struggle may be among individuals or among different groups within society, different societies, or different racial or ethnic populations.|isbn=0387765212}}</ref>

It is a social adaptation of the theory of ] as first invented by ]. '']'' explains success in various animal populations as the outcome of competition between any individual ]s for limited resources popularly known as "]", a term first used by either ], or ].

Fascist movements have commonly held ] views of nations, races, and societies.<ref name="Payne, Stanley G. 1945. pp. 485-486">Payne, Stanley G. ''A History of Fascism, 1914-1945.'' Routledge, 1996. pp. 485–486.</ref> Italian Fascist ] shortly after ] claimed that conflict was inevitable in society:

{{Quote|Conflict is in fact the basic law of life in all social organisms, as it is of all biological ones; societies are formed, gain strength, and move forwards through conflict; the healthiest and most vital of them assert themselves against the weakest and less well adapted through conflict; the natural evolution of nations and races takes place through conflict. ''Alfredo Rocco''<ref name="Hawkins, Mike 1997. p. 285">Hawkins, Mike. ''Social Darwinism in European and American Thought, 1860-1945: Nature as Model and Nature as Threat''. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997. p. 285.</ref>}}

] ], the Nazis utilized social ] to promote their ] concept of the German nation was part of the ] and believed in the competition of races. <ref>Hawkins, Mike. ''Social Darwinism in European and American Thought, 1860-1945: Nature as Model and Nature as Threat''. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997. pp. 282 and 284.</ref> The Nazis tried to strengthen the ‘Aryan race’ in Germany by murdering those they regarded as weaker, like Jews, ], Gypsies and ].

It was believed until recently that race and ] were connected. The fact that environment, such as ]ing, ] content and ] consumption/boozing has a significant effect on IQ undermines the case for the use of IQ data as a source of genetic information <ref name="race_myth">{{cite web|url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0813533023/ |title=biological theories of race page165 |publisher=Amazon.com |date= |accessdate=2009-04-18}}</ref><ref name="race_myth2">{{cite web|url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/B000F7113I/ |title=page183 |publisher=Amazon.com |date= |accessdate=2009-04-18}}</ref> <ref name="race_myth">{{cite web|url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0813533023/ |title=biological theories of race page165 |publisher=Amazon.com |date= |accessdate=2009-04-18}}</ref><ref name="race_myth2">{{cite web|url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/B000F7113I/ |title=page183 |publisher=Amazon.com |date= |accessdate=2009-04-18}}</ref>.
This prejudice was partially applied in Europe and the USA to both- the ], ], ], Blacks, Gypsies, ]ns, Italians, Turkish Cypriots, Slavic ] and Russia's ]s tribes.

==Racism, colonialism and African slavery==

]

When ]ans came to America, they killed thousands of ]s and when the European settlers got to Australia, they started killing of large numbers of ]s. In both cases, they regarded the native people as predestined to be inferior and not worth helping. This view was based on the Europeans' opinions on ] and how it could be used to judge the value of the native peoples. With the birth of their empires, many other native tribes suffered in ], ], ], ], ], ] and ].

a Relatively small numbers of White settlers and British (then including Irish) convicts attacked and removed Aboriginal populations from the South Eastern parts of Australia <ref>(1) The Fatal Confrontation: Early Native-White Relations on the Frontiers of Australia, New Guinea, and America: A Comparative Study Author(s): Wilbur R.

The ] peaked in the late 18th century, when the largest number of slaves were captured on expeditions into the interior of West Africa. These expeditions were typically carried out by people from the stronger African kingdoms like the ], ] and ], against weaker African tribes and peoples. Europeans rarely entered the interior of Africa, due to fear of ] and moreover fierce African resistance.<ref></ref><ref></ref>. Many millions of ] were killed while they were held as prisoners or as ]s by the Europeans and ]. The ] and some others call this "]".

Japan also held similar beliefs about ] and ] in their colonies.

==The new world attitude==

With the revelations of what the ] had done to it's victims and how the ] movement tried to liberate the ] from racist ] rule in ] and the southern ] (eg-] and ] ), the old ideas about race were swept away along with the prejudices that followed in it's wake! Blacks could vote in South Africa after a 50 year ban and the word 'Nigger' fell out use.

In some cases ], the ] and "]" have taken the situation to the opposite extreme, leading to accusations in the ], ] and ] of ], that is to say racism in favour, not against the ethnic minorities. Political correctness is a term applied to ], ideas, policies, or behaviour seen as seeking to minimize offence to gender, racial, cultural, disabled, aged or other identity groups. Conversely, the term "politically incorrect" is used to refer to language or ideas that may cause offense or that are unconstrained by ] or ] (eg- ] and ]). An example of ] is the term ] is a racially ] term for a ] in a domestic job (], ]), comparing them to a Black servant employed in the house of a White master during slavery. ] where he explains that the slaves called "House Negroes" working in the house and "Field Negroes" laboured outside.
