How many different ethnic groups live in India?
There are at least 700 tribes recognized by the Indian constitution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Scheduled_Tribes_in_India http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_of_India
Are people from India considered Asian?
Some believe that the Apache and Navajo came from Asian countries because of similar dialect sounds and tones and similarities between their languages and Asian languages. While pueblo Indians are theorized to have came from south America from pacific islands but either has not been fully proven.
What are India's six main ethnic groups?
Negrito, Pro-Australoids or Austrics, Mongoloid, Mediterranean or Dravidian, Western Brachycephal, Nordic Aryans. http://www.webindia123.com/india/people/people.htm
Why are Indians skin so dark?
Even though the majority of Indians are dark-skinned, there are a number of light skinned Indians. The Southern Indians are dark or black due to the hotter climate and also they are predominantly Dravidians and Australoids or Aborigines. There is also the Sidis, African descent, that lives in India. However, the majority of the African population have now intermarried with the general population, but the African features are still evident in much of India.
Are Indians Caucasian?
Indians from India are Caucasians, with the Southern parts being mixed with Australoids. The race of Native Americans has been debated. The majority point to them being Mongoloids, along with Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Arctic Americans, Maori, etc. However, some studies classify them as a unique race.
Are Hispanics white?
Hispanic is an ethnicity that can encompass people of various racial backgrounds, including white, Black, Indigenous, and others. While many Hispanics can be white, being Hispanic is primarily about cultural or ancestral ties to Spanish-speaking countries, not a specific race.
Are the aborigines from African descent?
Technically, everybody is from African descent, as homo sapiens originated there. But if you are asking about whether they are direct descendants from Africans, the answer is not exactly. They are Australoids, not Negroids, and are descendants of the first wave of humans to leave Africa, and they followed the coastline heading east until they reached South East Asia, and then down to Australia. They left traces in India, too, which explains why many Indians in the south have dark skin.
How old is Japan?
Archaeological research indicates that the earliest inhabitants of the Japanese archipelago migrated over land bridges from Asia about 35,000 years ago; they were Australoids. Negritos may also have been there at that time. The first pottery in the world was made by the Jomon culture, who came to Japan around 15,000 BC; they had a Mesolithic and Neolithic semi-sedentary hunter-gatherer lifestyle of pit dwelling and a rudimentary form of agriculture. In historic times they were known as the Emishi. They were followed by the Proto-Korean Jins in 1000 BC, the Caucasoid Ainus from the north Urals in 700 BC, Proto-Polynesians from Luzon and the Marianas in 500 BC (who formed the Kumaso, Hayato, and other tribes), a huge Altaic/Austric Wa migration from Jiangsu in 350 BC which brought rice paddy agriculture and the ruling dynasty (most famously Queen Himiko), and a final large Korean-related Buyeo migration (Kofun) from south Manchuria through Baekche to Japan in 270 AD; this was led by Ungjin (Ojin), who took over the dynasty. It was this last that formed Japan into the country that we know today. So the answer is around 35,000 years old.
Was Chinese Emperor Tang of Shang black?
there is ZERO evidence. the afrocentrists have no clue what they are saying because they cant read Chinese. claimed Huangdi (Yellow Emperor)'s name was Hu Nak Kinte. No Chinese sources ever stated that. claimed that the skeleton of Qin Shihuang in his tomb resembled a Black. The fact is his tomb was never even opened. And they're not planning to open it in the next 5 decades or so. claimed that the character 玄 Xuan and 黎 Li mean "Black", when in fact, they don't. there is however historical references to negritos (pygmies in taiwan). they were called black dwarves. I have read those websites, they seem exaggerated. HOWEVER! It is undeniable that Australoids inhabited East Asia long before the yellow people ever got there. New Guinea has something like 750 nationalities, because they went there from all over Asia, where they originally lived before they were driven south and east by arriving Austrics from the west. I'm sure Xuanyuan was Tibetan, no doubt, but at least some of the Dongyi in Shandong and Jiangsu were very dark if not black. They undoubtedly had Australoid blood, and looked like very dark Hmongs. The Longshan culture looked like this too before the Tibetans and Koreans got there and mingled. Since Tang and his Shang people were Dongyi, I see no stretch in supposing that they were darker in some degree than their Huaxia brethren. Tang's clan totem was the Blackbird, which denoted Australoids in ancient China.
Is it true that some australoids melanesians can have light brown and blond hair naturally and supposedly some africans can to?
Yes, it is true. I think this is due to genetics. I'm Melanesian, I have a blond gene and red head (yes believe it or not) gene in my family. I did not inherit the gene, but as a child I had a darker shade of blonde. I shaved my head as a child, after that the blonde hair never grew back. I do however have relatives that are blonde, which brings me to conclude that blondness in Melanesians; Papua New Guineans, Solomon Islanders & folks from Vanuatu is due to genetics. I am not sure about Africans, or African Americans. But for Melanesians, it happens. Despite the fact that scientist say that Blondness happens to children and women only, it does not explain why adult people in Melanesia are blonde.
Why am i white?
If you mean by 'white', that you are pale skinned, fare harired and blue eyed, the you are ethnically a 'Caucasian'. This characterisitcs come about because both your parents where caucasian. So it follows through the DNA/Gene system, that you are caucasian. The three other main Ethnic groups in the world are ;- #11; Mongoloid ; chinese, japanese. This group contains inuits(eskimos), and Amer-inds(North American Native people, Incas, Aztecs. #2 ; Neg-roid ; African, and 'Black Americans'. The word comes from the Spanish word for 'Black'. #3; Australoids ; Australian aboriginees. It is a very small unique group.
Was America uninhabited by humans before Indians came?
If by "Indians" you mean Salish, Hopi, Mohave, Cheyenne, Inuit, Comanche, Yanomamo, and Aztec -- in other words, people who were formerly classified as "proto-Mongoloids" and have been called "American Indians," "Amerinds," and "Native Americans" -- and those who are genetically similar to these groups, then the answer now seems to be yes. Discoveries of skeletal remains in both North and South America in recent years point to human migrations to the New World that predate the appearance of "Indians." These remains have been studied and the opinion of researchers is that they represent different racial types. One is most similar to modern "Australoids," the group that was considered to include Australian Aborigines. The very fact that I must speak in ambiguities regarding this topic shows you that the question is not completed answered, nor does the question mean the same thing to every scientist. What we can be certain of, though, is that various populations of humans with different features and genetic heritage existed in the Americas prior to the entry of the "Indians." It is possible that the "Indians" destroyed these people and/or mixed with them.

What is the difference between convicts and Aboriginals?
"Convicts" generally refers to individuals who have been found guilty of a crime and sentenced to imprisonment, whereas "Aboriginals" refers to indigenous peoples who are the original inhabitants of a particular area, such as Australia. The two groups have distinct cultural, historical, and social backgrounds.
