Racogenesis

At the moment, scientists have not yet come to a consensus about the processes of raceogenesis. However, during the last century, sufficient evidence has been collected in favor of genetic or adaptive theories about the formation of different groups of human races. So now we can already say that over millions of years of human evolution, different populations formed separate segments and groups of peoples.

From the very beginning of research, scientists have distinguished two types of reasoning to explain race formation: **genetic theories** and **adaptation theories**. An analysis of numerous studies related to the field of genetics and molecular biology has led to the fact that most anthropologists began to adhere to a genetic approach in solving issues of racial heterogeneity. Today, most scientists
