Talk:Caucasoid, Negroid, Mongoloid, Australoid

These races are not confirmed by genetics
Genetics does not confirm these races. Mongoloid does not fit into a branch. Southeast Asians, Eastern Europeans, Northern Europeans and Pacific Islanders are not in the same branch as East Asians. Negroid is so distant from Caucasoids and Mongoloids that they should be a single category rather than be labeled further down on their branches. Western Europeans and Middle Easterners are not in the Australoid racial category.-- Dark Tichondrias 01:46, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

The Mongoloid race is North East Asians, native Americans, Inuits. They have their own branch. South East Asians and Pacific Islanders are nothing more than a mix of mongoloids and Australois and they have their own branch. Indians, Arabs, Europeans are Caucasoid and they have their own branch. Africans South of the Sahara are Negroid and they have their own branch. The 4 races are all perfectly confirmed by the genetic data so this is essential to the article.--Louddavenport 19:57, 29 August 2006 (UTC)


 * That is a redefinition of Mongoloid and Caucasoid which are not the historical anthropologists classifications. This redefintion seemingly was made to fit the genetic branches and is not the standard usage.Dark Tichondrias--23:35, 29 August 2006 (UTC)


 * What are you talking about? No one redefined Mongoloid or Caucasoid?  The fact that craniofacial anthropology defined a mongoloid/Australoid mix as simply mongoloid simply means that method is not subtle enough to distinguish hybrids from pure breeds.  It doesn't mean the terms were redefined to fit genetics.


 * If you find one anthropologist who says that these racial categories are confirmed by genetics then add it, but nothing currently (August 18, 2006) on the Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza article states he claims these races are confirmed by genetics.--Dark Tichondrias 00:10, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


 * His research confirms the existence of the races whether he's brave enough to admit or not.
