What would the average skin tone and facial features look like after 300 years if every partner relationship was interracial until there were no other ethnicities? Just a hodgepodge of DNA. What would the average human look like having a little bit of everything in them?

I just think the idea is neat is all.

      Do we have any current examples of a human with more than 4 or so distinct racial backgrounds? Like white and black grandparents with a mixed child with another Asian and middle eastern grandparents also having a mixed child. Then those children having a kid of their own.

    Out of curiosity, I looked up “race” by anthropological terms in the dictionary and discovered that “race” is…

    1. No longer in technical use.
    2. Described as an arbitrary classification.
    3. A socially constructed category.

    “Ethnicities” might have been a more suitable word choice for your intended query.

      Corrected to ethnicities. However it still is used in words like interracial. So it isn’t completely out of our lexicon.
