How many human races actually exist/existed?

I'm asking for phylogenetic tree construction reasons.

Well at least my task isn't redundant

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Are you getting tribe-specific?

[Asker]

Sort of? But Moreso physical variation specific.
Logically there are going to be tribes, towns and cities where the local populace matches the looks/genetics of other tribes, towns and cities elsewhere.
There is also going to be a lot of blending but I'm trying to count those variations as well.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

That sounds like a “no” if you’re only focusing on physical traits. In which case there are probably about 7 races of humans

[Asker]

There are a lot more variations than 7.
I have several hundred listed already.

[Asker]

my list is made of images but here is a smaller example in text form
unsure if the placement in this is correct, i'm compiling each type before confirming placement.

[Nikki1989]

Caucasian, Mongoloid, Negroid, Australoid, and sometimes Capoid are the most common answers to this.

[Asker]

Thats mostly outdated, they are broken up further into many more catagories.

Races? Or do you mean subspecies like Neanderthals?

[Asker]

Homo Neanderthalensis are a separate species that interbed with Homo Sapiens.
Race and Subspecies mean the same thing.
