You change the threads name to "Are there different speices" now if you want to 
I got disappointed by the true answer though, I wanted to be a special breed of humankin

Mainly I think that the differences between people exist beacause there are other needs...For example:
Medittereneans and Scandinavians...they are both white BUT:
Mediterreneans are a little black with dark hair and eyes
while
Scandinavians are really white with blonde hairs and bright eyes...
Why?
Well because in Mediterenean there is a lot of sun and we meditereneans weren't able to easily exist if we were like scandineveans and the opposite...
So Black people who mainly live in Africa are black because otherwise it wouldn't be easy to exist...the same goes for Asians, Indians(American) etc...
Also you must know that we all came from Africa...and in the ages we "mutate" thus changing our colour and generally our characteristics...

Sometime around 70,000 BC, nearly all humans on the planet died off. Only a few hundred living in southeast Asia survived; these later went on to repopulate the earth. As a result, two humans who are as different as we can possibly find (EX, a Hottentot and a Norwegian) are more genetically similar than two chimpanzees from the same troupe. Compared to the rest of the animal kingdom, we are all a bunch of clones.
We are told that the Nearderthals did not breed with any Cro-Magnon; when the died off their genetics went with them. You can tell because all humans today have 4-crowned teeth (a cro-magnon trait), there are no humans with 6-crowned teeth (a neanderthal trait). My father knows a man with 6-crowned teeth. Suck it, anthropologists!

I think we should create a genetic archive of the polar bears such that if they go extinct from global warming we can just bring them back if it ever gets cool again.
The earth only appears to be warming up if you look only at a very narrow range of data. In fact, the Earth is headed for a major Ice Ace, and it's almost certainly the Sun's fault. So really we should be trying to save the South American Rain Forest Kitties.

One celled or many. There are reasons they are called dogs.
Saying Asians are a different breed to a cockasian (Yes I said it like that on purpose ) Is like saying The Gootchy & I are different species because he has blue eyes & i have brown.
Same difference, different color but the same human being.
Maybe the Asians are really Aliens & the Cockasians are really human.
The African Americans are Escimerians who can breath Nitrogen in the far away planets
Maybe Lassie is really a bog while Boxers are fighters where therefore a Bugle is a dog

Cro Magnum & Neanderthals may of came from different parts of the world.
It is a fact that they were around when the Cro Magnum came into the picture.
It is a fact that there has been extinctions & mass extinctions.
We adapt to certain environments, when the environments changes it also changes the way you live.
Say the Woolly Mammoth.
They had the double thick skin & hair to adapt to the ice age.
WHen the ice age ended, so did alot of Species who tried to adapt.
Some say Meteors hit.
If a meteor hit during the ice age, it can be a possibility why so many species became exstinct during the last ice age & soon after.
The land would be covered in dust & it would be hard to survive, just like millions of yrs ago when the meteor hit earth when Dinosaurs roamed.
It can be possible any surviving Neanderthals ran into Cro Magnum in a different country.
It cant be known if they befriended or became enemies.
I am sure they did meet up with Cro Magnum being more high tech.
Our evolution adapts just like from other species.
Homo Habilus was about as small as you can throw them. They did not last long, they had a hard time fending any food they could hunt as well as being hunted.
Homo Erectus found many technologies & findings.
They knew how to survive & hunt for food.
They too became extinct.
Of course we also are at fault for extinctions.
We hunted the flightless DODO birds.
Big birds who lived on an island.
As soon as we found the island, we hunted them all down, Monkeys, Mice etc hunted their eggs. They had no chance. By somewhere by 100 yrs by I think around the 1500's, we wiped them out to extinctions.
Even recent times. We also wiped out the Great Auks.
You know those cute Penguin looking birds with the cute crooked Beaks.
They used to roam all bordred around the ocean shors.Many of them
Sailors, Pirates & the likes Hunted them down for food. Ate the eggs or saved them as souvaners.
By arounf the mid 1800's, we ourselves made the Great Auks extinct.
So it is a combo of the environment, Human & diseases that ultimately wiped out species to extinction.
It may be a fact that we may be extinct as well.
It is a fact that after a time, a human race becomes extinct.
Point is that We are all the same. I am sure Homo Sapiens came in different colors as well.
We are the same species but how long we will last, we dont know.
We can have another ice age & can we survive just like our ancestors did?

Hmm... I read a theory about scandinavian blondes once... (Oh, and I'm not blonde btw)
Very very long ago, there was a huge gap between men and women in terms of numbers. There could be like, 10 men per woman.
Around this time, a mutation happened which caused the blondeness to arrive. As you may know, there aren't one single good thing about being blonde from a genetic perspective, it's a little failure actually  . You're more likely to get things such as skin cancer... you get gray hair faster...
Anyway, since the men could pretty much choose any woman they wanted to, they for some reason chose mostly blonde females.
And that is why there are so many blondes in Scandinavia.
But it's just a theory I read somewhere.

@Adrius: 2 things, most likely:
1) Random Mutation
2) Maybe it does do something, after all it reflects sunlight, so your head is cooler.

Why only humans get to grow white hair and lose it when they get old? Because we have hats or something?

No, they are different races.
Races are subsets of species.
Different breeds of dogs are not different species, because all breeds of dogs can reproduce with each other.
A race/breed becomes a different species when it has evolved enough to prevent reproduction with the original species.
This is basically a definition question, you could have just googled it.

Somehow I think you're even more confused as to what I said, since you're probably thinking I was talking about species, which I wasn't. I was talking about REAL differences between so-called "races", not just "social constructs". Black people are black, just a brain illusion. In reality they are the same

Keep in mind that taxonomy is completely artificial.
Taxonomy:
1. the science or technique of classification.
2. Biology. the science dealing with the description, identification, naming, and classification of organisms.
species = artificial classification. Good.
But what I meant (I mean "confused" as you who obviously don't give out any explanation whatsoever) is that, putting this for species rather than races, THE ACT OF INTER-BREEDING ITSELF IS NOT ARTIFICIAL.
It is true that cats can't breed with dogs.
Apply that to race discussion where "race classifications" is also artificial, but the differences EXIST.
Either that or continue making useless posts without explanation.

hey guy, this is an important note from me. Please take heed.
Species, is obviously a man made word, created to express what the word defines. In order to clearly understand what words define, you should go to the dictionary. I know this seems simple, it is. But it is important. Sometimes, in cases like this, the definition is vague. It is my understanding that the humanity as a whole (black white, aisan etc) is under one class in the categories of species.
This kind of symbolizes superiority complex. But on the same token, it is politically correct.

Yes but you are probably eating a cheese sandwich while reading this WHICH MEANS THAT you are not lactose intolerant which means that you are probably not LACTOSE INTOLERANT unless you are which means you're probably confused and think that lactose is just a "social construct".
ps. What do you mean by "you're probably thinking _____" how can you guess what I'm thinking by a picture of a drowzee?
Of course there are real genetic differences between races, other than skin colour. This is common knowledge.

And that was my whole freaking point countering those who says "everyone is the same" which some also mean genetically as if it's some kind of OFFENSE to speak the TRUTH (in genetics)
I hate political correctness.

No, it was to someone who deleted his post.

Well they don't mean that everyone is exactly the same. It's not attack of the clones, but they generally mean that the differences are trivial in that they shouldn't create prejudice and inequality in the way different races interact..
