What has resulted is a species which possesses much beauty and biodiversity.
Humans can be classified by their geographic ancestry by describing the locations where each person's ancestors lived at different times in history. Ancestry can be measured by analyzing the percentage of DNA that a person shares with past human populations. Geographic distance was a significant impediment to gene flow between population groups for most of humanity's history. The humans within each isolated population group bred among themselves, resulting in the loss of genetic variation through the process of genetic drift. Consequently, members of these populations tend to possess similar genetic patterns and physical traits.
We can classify humans into different races. Races are defined by grouping humans by genetic attributes such as skin, eye and hair color; skin and hair texture; facial structure, and the alleles in their genome which effect physical traits. If a human is sufficiently different from any other human, they are considered the only member of a unique race. Classifications of racial groups are fuzzy and not fully discrete, because every human is genetically and physically unique.

To help cure racial loneliness and beautify the human species, I present Seekia: a race aware mate discovery network.
Seekia is a mate discovery network where users can find a mate while having a deep awareness of each potential partner's race. Users can share racial information in their profiles such as their eye, skin, and hair color; hair texture; genetic ancestry; haplogroups; and the alleles in their genome which effect physical traits.

Users can share racial information in their profiles such as their eye, skin, and hair color; hair texture; and the alleles in their genome which effect physical traits. Users can also share their genetic ancestry, which is correlated to their race.
Seekia enables users to browse and filter potential mates by their racial attributes. Seekia can also calculate the racial characteristics for prospective offspring between users. Seekia allows for users to predict and choose the race of their offspring by selecting a mate who is the most capable and likely to produce offspring of their desired race.

The racial description of users should be highly precise and detailed. The more accurately a user's profile can describe their race, the more effective Seekia will be at helping users to meet and mate with members of their desired races.
Users can share detailed information about their race such as their physical traits, trait genes, genetic ancestry, parent haplogroups, and neanderthal variant count. Users can filter and sort other users by these attributes and the calculated attributes of their offspring.
Users can share detailed information about their race such as their skin, eye and hair color; hair texture; and the allele values in their genome which effect physical traits. Users can filter and sort other users by these attributes and the calculated attributes of their offspring.
Users profiles can contain a user's skin, eye and hair color; hair texture; and genome allele values for genes which effect these traits. Users can also share the allele values for genes which effect facial structure.
### Ancestry
User profiles can include ancestral analyses from multiple providers and computational methods. The Seekia app should also eventually provide the ability to perform ancestral analyses from raw genome data files.
Seekia is an ancestry aware mate discovery network. Users can share the ancestral populations they are descended from and the haplogroups they belong to. Users can filter other users by their ancestry, and can view the calculated ancestry of their prospective offspring with each user. Filtering and sorting by ancestry will help users to find mates who belong to their desired race(s), because ancestry is correlated to race.
