Eight Races of Man
Men have been partitioned into eight individual species or groups - each unique. These eight different forms of man gradually manifested themselves over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, when men lived in separate areas of the world, thus genetically changing them in fundamental ways.
All men come from the initial master race of men. That master race had originally disappeared in its original form once genetics of humans began to diverge - but has since reappeared on the south eastern island, hidden from view of the rest of the world. Its re-emergence is driven by all eight forms of man living together in one area, mixed amongst each other, and dozens, if not hundreds of generations of interbreeding between them, thus re-establishing the master race
The classification of the eight formal forms of man are based in what area of the world they currently hold majority in. There is of course some intermixing and inter movement of races, but by and large, they are "based" in these regions
Master Race
Master humans have a mix of all forms of skin color, resulting in a rich tanish brown color, with a golden shine. Hair type is equally uniform, being a somewhat thick bodied but maliable type of hair. Color, however varies amongst all people born of this race - being any number of colors that can be seen among all races on the mainland - black, brown, blonde, plantinum, etc - as well as a number of new colors that had been lost (pink, purple, blue for example). Eye color is equally diverse, but unlike the eight races of the mainland, they do not pair the same with hair color - in other words, you will not always (or even often) see somebody with red hair and green eyes... you may see red hair with brown eyes, or blue.
Name
Author explanation - No explanation is needed here - although, when referring to the individual races of men, some explanations of the etymology of their name is certainly warranted (and is duly noted in their respective articles).
