Hint:A race is defined as a group of people thought to share certain distinctive physical characteristics, such as facial structure or skin colour. There has been some difference in the discussion of the origin of different races.

Complete answer:
There is no single and common way of classifying mankind into biological different types of races. In the ancestral times, physical characteristics, such as skin colour and hair type, were used to divide three to five biological races (Caucasoid, Negroid and Mongoloid and later, Australoid and American Indian).

Now let us see difference between them:

Caucasoid Mongoloid.
These are found in Europe These are found in Asia
They have pale reddish white to olive brown in colour. These have saffron to yellow brown in colour.
They have medium to tall stature These are medium tall to medium short in stature.
Head is long and broad in them. Head in short in medium. Head in broad and medium high in them.
The face is narrow to medium broad and is high. Face is medium broad to very broad.
Hair is light brown to dark brown and the texture is fine. Hair is brown to brown black and the texture is very coarse.
Eye is blue to light brown Eyes are brown to brown black.
They have blood group A in common. They have blood group B in common.


Note:The third race of humans is that of the Negroid. They have a blood group both that is A and B both. Their hair colour is brown black and texture is coarse. They have not so tall and not so small stature. Their vertical eye fold is common.
