It seems to me that the only classification that would be halfway
rational would be Afro-Eurasian, Native American, and Australian
Aborigine, as those were the three regions that, until the European
Expansion, were completely isolated from each other. "Blacks", "Whites"
and "Asians" were all just various ethnic groups that shaded into each
other.
