Q. If races exist, then, pray tell, precisely how many there are?

A. How many neighborhoods are there in the place where you live?

For some purposes, an extremely simple breakdown into, say, City vs. Suburbs is most useful. For other uses, an extremely detailed set of neighborhood names is helpful: e.g., “The proposed apartment complex will aggravate the parking shortage in Northeastern West Hills.”

Similarly, racial groups can be lumped into vast continental-scale agglomerations or split as finely as you like.

For instance, should New World Indians be considered a separate race—or merely a subset of East Asians?

Every system of categorization runs into disputes between “lumpers” and “splitters.” Whether lumping or splitting is more appropriate depends upon the situation.
So, in other words, race is completely subjective. The number of races can not be determined, as with the number of species, because species is science while race is arbitrary. Earthling can be a race, European can be a race, Scandinavian can be a race, Swedish can be a race, Gottlander can be a race, and so on.

By the way, I actually do believe that the number of races can be determined with science. The fact that whoever wrote this article disagrees is pretty strange, considering he's a racialist, and I'm not.

Just the face that one racial type always keeps advancing in every area of human endeavor, traveling to Saturn.. while another never got beyond a sharp pointed stick... should tell you something.
