Default Hypothetical Island Experiement

If we took 75-100 members of different races, both men and women, and put them all on an island away from civilization..... Caucasian, asian, black, hispanic, middle eastern, and any other major race you can think that is not too similar to the formentioned races..... There was plenty of food and water on the island for the inhabitants to live.... However, each race was dropped off at a different part of the island..... The catch is that each race was composed of criminals that hated every other race, the elite business men and women, scientists, whores, survivalists, or basically every niche of society..... The best chance of survival though in the beginning is to stick together with your race..... Breeding is allowed between races as time goes on..... Which race comes out on top or at least becomes the majority in the shortest amount of time????

I'm not positive this is an appropriate discussion...

I put my money on the race with the highest statistical probability of having experienced a similar environment. And no, I don't know who that is.

I think all races are equal in their own ways, and no race will come out on top or dominate the other.....

Delete it then, I have no objections.... Just a hypothetical situation, but I can see where it can turn ugly.....

Lol, well that's a safe answer.

I think that the numbers are way too small, variance within each given race will dwarf overall racial trends in this case.

That being said, I think African Americans would be a better bet to win out because this seems like a very harsh physical environment and they've been selectively bred for centuries to be top-notch physical specimens.

the groups best able to cooperate with other groups will have a massive advantage. Don't know which that would be.

Four questions:

1) 75-100 for each race, or total?

2) What sort of food is available? What about predators?

3) How big is the island, and what sort of physical barriers separate a group from each other?

4) Is cooperation between members of different races forbidden?
