why  there are various races of people if all of us originate from the same ansestor?

Because over time people adapted to life in different areas of the world.

Too many to state all of them. As a species we started out somewhere in the African savannahs and moved from there all over the globe. All the different modern sub-groups with all their different attributes come from the same ancestors. \nWhat changed on that trip? Skin color for starters. Hair structure. Lactose-tolerance. And so on. \nI am sure you can think of more yourself.

First, race does not exist.  It is a made-up term, originating as pseudo-science in the early 1900's as an excuse to keep the European/American upper class white people in control of most governments.  Studied far closer after WWII, race has been found to be non-existent - the only biological differences between 'colors' are the levels of melanin present in the skin.  Otherwise, there are no biological differences at all.  Our ethnicities and religious beliefs are really what seperates us, the "us" and "them".  Now, there are certain genes that frequent different geographical areas:  for example, sickle-cell anemia gene is far more prevalent within Africans, but as a heterozygote (that is, one parent gives the gene FOR and one 'not FOR') these Africans are protected from malaria!  Amazing what the human body will do, what it will adapt to!

No, because we would still be all different colors and have different cultures.

The world is a beautiful patch work. Different races means different cultures, background, languages, histories, etc. That is fun to learn, experience and get to know. Teach us to be understanding, tolerant and help us grow as human beings... at least in theory.

Race has to do with one's ancestry, but nationality has to do with citizenship.  For example, someone can be Chinese by ancestry (their parents, grandparents, etc. were Chinese), but that person is an American by nationality (because they are an American citizen).\n\nAn ethnic group is usually a collective term referring to people who share similar race and/or nationality.

FOR THOSE WHO DESCIMINATE BASED ON 'RACE'!\n\nRace shouln't be an issue.\n         Why does anybody think one race is greater than other.???   \n   GOD creates us all in same way. Its just the geography that has played its game.\n  If u still dont agree...why dont u just take a knife and poke it into ur stomach..\n           See wats comin out.. If it is blood and If it is RED ... then man u are not superior!!..\n   You are just flesh and blood. Watever the race ...u are same inside.  THen Why the hell are some guys hangin on 'Black' or 'White' or 'Asian' or BS! C'mon, its high time u become a human being!!!

We are all one as a human race yet we are all diverse in our thoughts, emotions, and actions.  This delicate balance is what keeps the human race going.

there is only one race...the human race\n\nthere is no biological basis for multiple "races" within the human race\n\nif it helps any, i'm a molecular geneticist\n\nthat doesn't make me right, it just means that i have some background relative to your question\n\none can find larger variation, genetically speaking, within an ethnos than found between two different ethnicities\n\nin other words you can take a group of white europeans or black africans...and not in all but in some cases (and it would be quite common), you could find greater genetic variation within the group of white europeans than by comparing both groups\n\nyou could do the same with the group of black africans or any other so-called race

Pretty simple actually.  The original man and woman had great complexity in their genes.  When God made different languages at the tower of Babel, this divided people into groups- thus splitting the gene pool.  Different features survived better in different climates.  For example, in a hot, sunny climate people with dark skin absorbed less ultraviolet light, but people with fair skin got too much.  They either got various diseases and died, or moved to an area with shorter days.  That's just one example.  The differences that we see (skin color, hair type, etc.) is a small fraction of all the things the different "races" have in common.  There is actually only one race- the human race.  \nSkin color is what people tend to focus on the most.  But we actually all have the same skin color, caused by the pigment melanin, we just have different amounts of it. And how much is determined by genetics.  \nActs 17:26 says "and He made from one blood, every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times, and the boundaries of their habitation..."\nIt's just simple genetics.  And look what we've done with it.

it's the same with how many races and nations there are.\npeople have different belief and different languages.

Yes, there people just like us. It's just like allowing different races to exist in our society.

Racism is stupid, and anyone with any Biblical understanding knows it. For one, we are all one race, the human race. Some humans just have different features. So what? We all descended from one man, Adam, and also Noah since the flood. We are all relatives in one way or another. Blah! *resists urge to rant*

There is no such thing as race. There was a study done on human DNA, within the last ten years anyway, typing and comparing the DNA of people of many different "racial" backgrounds. Of course all the Asians expected to be genetically closer to Asians than anyone else, but it actually turned out that one Asian girl was closest genetically to her black male classmate. We are really very much alike under our skin.\nHumans are the closest to each other genetically. It's amazing. There can be as little as one nucleotide difference that distinguishes your DNA from mine.\nYou're totally right. People is people.

Because we were separated into tribes and races so we would be more recognizeable.  So we can tell eachother apart.  If all there were were one set of traits (Ie: black hair and brown eyes) it would be pretty hard to tell us all apart.

Very slight differences, but not enough to classify one race as superior or inferior at any event.  For instance, Norwegians tend to be taller than Southern Mexicans, but that has no bearing on anything.  It's pretty much a myth.  It more has to do with genetics from the direct ancestors.  Good question!

We are all human, we all have the same human nature.
