Someone in my blog comments asked how I would divide the human | Fides et Gens

Someone in my blog comments asked how I would divide the human races.

Generally speaking, I would use the same divisions that most scientists used until the insane race denialism began in the 1960s-80s. Most geneticists still use something like this today btw.

Major races:
1. Caucasoid / West Eurasian
2. Mongoloid / East Eurasian
3. Australoid / South Eurasian
4. Amerindian (East Eurasian + some West Eurasian but have been genetically distinct for ~20,000 years, you could just call them Mongoloid tbh)
5. Sub-saharan Africans (possibly divided into West African Bantu and South African Khoisan since they are quite distinct populations)

Mixed-race populations (gradient between two or more major races):
Horn Africans, Indians, Central Asians, Castizos, Mestizos, Madagascans, etc.

And finally, within each major race, there is a handful of genetically and phenotypically distinct sub-races. For example, the Caucasoid race is basically split into Europeans, Middle East and North Africans (who form one large cline), and what could be called the "Alpide Belt" West Asians, which includes Caucasians, Turks, and Iranians.

I will make an updated racial world map, at some point.
