Help me answer a very short survey on race

[SOSTrooper]

I got a homework survey for my Cultural Anthropology class. Got 5 short questions for you to answer. If you want to help, you can answer these 5 questions w/o any too much indepth thinking or any research. Sort of like just answering them right off the top of your head. Also try not to peek at other people's answers till you posted yours I need as many as possible. TIA



1. Define the term race (what does the term "race" mean or refer to?)
2. How many races are there?
3. List 3 races you know of?
4. Your age
5. Your self-defined race or ethnicity

 

[TommyVercetti]

1) A breed
2) 3
3) Black, white, Asian.
4) 23
5) Asian.

 

[Regs]

Questions One & two sound theoretical, make one up.

 

[911paramedic]

1. The act of running
2. Many.
3. Boston marathon, Bay to Breakers, Ironman triathlon.
4. 37
5. I don't run in races.

 

[dighn]

1. a group that shares some slight (probably trivial) genetic differences from the rest of the species
2. many
3. white, black, east asian
4. 20
5. east asian

1. Define the term race (what does the term "race" mean or refer to?) people grouped together based on a common history and genetically transmitted characteristics
2. How many races are there? quite a few
3. List 3 races you know of? Egyptian, Scottish, Japanese
4. Your age 19
5. Your self-defined race or ethnicity Scottish (I was born in Scotland, of two scottish parents)

 

[SOSTrooper]

bump... i need some more

 

[vi edit]

1. Similar genetic traits most largely being skin pigmentation and hair types and growth patterns
2. I'd say around 8-10 without getting overly critical
3. Caucasion(white), Asian, and Native American
4. 25
5. Caucasion (white)

 

[yruffostsif]

1. A contest
2. 100's
3. Drag, Stock, Horse
4. 28
5. Northern Redneck

 

[johneetrash]

911paramedic took my answer, except im 21.

there's also the LA marathon, lots of different kinds of olympic races, heck, even F1, Rally, and other automotive races.

(the act of running doesnt have to be confined to 2 feet )

[SOSTrooper]

4 intellectual replies out of 10... c'mon you guys can do better I need a lot more...

 

[her209]

2. Too many to count
3. LA Marathon, Tortoise-Hare Race, Grand Prix
4. 24
5. Asian?

EDIT: DAMN, SOMEONE BEAT ME IN THE RACE TO IT

 

[fatalbert]

1. A grouping of similar beings. (species)
2. 1 (of humans)
3. Humans, Silverback Gorrilla's, Chimpanzees
4. 20
5. race=human, ethnicity=white

 

[Tom]

1. common usage-artificial classification of people based on insignificant differences, usually for political or socio-economic reasons.

scientific usage-sub-species classification based on evolutionary differences caused by enviromental conditions and geographical seperation of members of the same species.


I'm spent.:moon:

 

[SOSTrooper]

I need more

 

[ElFenix]

1. an arbitrary breakdown of individuals based on a "you know it when you see if" non-definition
2. 3
3. caucasoid, mongoloid, negroid (caucasoid-mogoloid look to have split from negroid about 110,000 years ago, and then those two split between 41 and 15 thousand years ago.)
4. 24
5. caucasoid

2. How many races are there?
3. List 3 races you know of?
4. Your age
5. Your self-defined race or ethnicity

1) A contest between two or more indivduals using any method of transportation to see who get from one point to another the fastest. Typical races are usually between people running, however car races, boat races and aircraft races are common.
2) Dozens, if not hundreds.
3) The Reno Air Races, the Boston Marthathon (sp?), and the Indy 500.
4) 21
5) I don't participate in races.

 

[hjo3]

1. Define the term race (what does the term "race" mean or refer to?)
Race is the similar traits groups of ppl share because they have common ancestors.

2. How many races are there?
That's like asking how many shades of blue there are. Depends where you want to make the lines. If I had to pick a number, I'd say emmm... 24 (4 per inhabited continent?).

3. List 3 races you know of?
Broadly, arabian, eskimo, mongolian.

4. Your age
21.

5. Your self-defined race or ethnicity
Scandinavian.

 

[alrocky]

1, 2, 3) Biological classification, grouping the human species by genetic differences and similarites in a half dozen or so major race categories including Caucasin, Negroid and Mongolian (white, black and asian). 4) At the age of which you're not suppose to trust anyone over. 5) The third grouping.

 

[hdeck]

1. made up term by west europeans and north americans to help classify people as to more easily discriminate against them
2. none, race is a myth. well 1, if you would like to say we are all of the same race
3. there aren't 3 total
4. 19
5. i'm human like you

 

[Anubis]

1) made up grooping of peoples
2) 2, white and not white
3) white & not white
4) 22
5) white

 

[Walleye]

a classification making separate a group of people based on slight genetic variation from the rest of the population.

of humans? 3


caucasoid, mongoloid, and negroid.



18

caucasoid.

That would be correct.
