Ethnologists have divided the human population into five broad races basing on the colour of the skin, physical features, language, place, etc. They are: 1. The Black or Negro Race (Africa) 2. The Red or American Indian Race (America) 3. The White or Caucasian Race (Europe) 4. The Yellow or Mongoloid Race (Asia) 5. The Australoid Race (Australia); however, some authorities include The Polynesian Race (Asia) in the list of major races.
In the present multi-cultural societies, people are of many different mixed races that they are very hard to group into systematic classes.
