 Root-race chronology
The fourth race lasted somewhat longer, the sixth and seventh races will be slightly shorter, and the first three races were considerably longer.
The first race, in the manner in which HPB speaks of it, was so long because it included the slow awakening of the human shishtas (see OG 160-1), before the first race began as a distinct race (SOP 162-3).
The middle of the fourth race is sometimes said to have occured 8 to 9 million years ago (ET 326fn; SOP 20-1, 97, 161, 422; MiE 152).

 Waldorf answers - Myths about Waldorf education
The theosophical -- not anthroposophical -- term "root race", especially in the form "Aryan root race", that in theosophy refers to the development of humanity through a number of phases during post-glacial times, is the first of three misunderstood terms and concepts incorrectly referrred to in allegations of racism in anthroposophy.
Early on Steiner criticized the use of the concepts of "root races" and "sub races of root races" in the theosophical tradition, and he did not use them as he increasingly developed anthroposophy separate from theosophy.
One reason he gave for this was that the term "root race" was an undeveloped, misleading and inaccurate concept compared to the concept of "race" in its general biological sense.

They believed there was a superior race, descendants of the population of Atlantis, and that over time, the superior, Master Race of Aryans, those descendants, would be pre-eminent at first and then virtually populate the world which would in turn become a utopia.
A master race concept is not new: the idea or concept appears in many cultures, and the description of the race usually fits the archetype of the racial group describing it.

 Theosophical Society in America   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Theosophical concept of a "root race" holds that consciousness itself, and not bodily form or skin color, is the determining factor and that great numbers of people of various ethnic groups make up the root race now developing on this planet.
In the sevenfold plan of evolution, each of the seven root races is said to have seven modifications, or divisions, known as "subraces." Each subrace has the fundamental characteristics of the root race to which it belongs, but it also has some tendency or quality peculiar to itself.
To use a familiar analogy, each root race represents a school in which a major group of lessons must be learned, the subraces represent grades within the school, and the branch races are classes within the grades.

It was an event which became possible through certain conditions and polar relationships, and because the scientific laws were understood and the Knowers took [715] advantage of a peculiar electrical condition to hasten the evolution of the race.
It was electrical phenomena of a stupendous kind, and produced the "lights which ever burn." It was the result of the knowledge of natural law and its adaptation to opportunity.

However, the 5th root race in a way is related to the third race and the shapeshifting which was common of the third race is now mirrored in the intercultural and racial marriages of today.
As we move toward the 6th root race, the psychic energy will increase and our ability to tap into the etheric web of Faerie shall heighten and be as it once was with the exception that now Faerie will have become fully physicalized.

 Occurrence of "main race" in the "Missions ..." book
Anyone replacing it with "root races" - as has been done by translators - is making an obvious error, because then the five root races would refer to the fl, yellow, brown, red and white race.
I simply wanted to point out that anyone who still claims that "root race" is the correct translation the one time "Hauptrasse" occurs in this text after all that has been said cannot think straight (and probably doesn't have enough wits to have made it to the end of high school with a diploma).
Root races were not just chronological periods for Blavatsky, they were human types.

During the course of the post-diluvian ages, marked at certain periodical epochs by the most terrible cataclysms, too many races and nations were born, and have disappeared almost without leaving a trace, for any one to offer a description of the slightest value concerning them.
The archaic records show the Initiates of the second sub-race of the Aryan family moving from one land to the other for the purpose of supervising the building of menhirs and dolmens, of colossal Zodiacs in stone, and places of sepulchre to serve as receptacles for the ashes of generations to come.

 Rounds And Races -A Theosophical Article by William Q. Judge
Since the life-wave reached globe D in this fourth round, four root-races have run their course upon it, and the fifth root-race has reached its fifth subdivision or sub-race, of which we are part.
This fifth sub-race is said to be preparing in America for transition or transformation into the sixth sub-race: it is not entirely clear whether we in the United States today belong to the seventh family-race of the fifth sub-race, or to the first family race of the sixth sub-race.
There is a period of rest or pralaya after the close of each round before another is commenced: a pralaya after each globe in the round; similarly each race, sub-race, etc., is preceded and followed by its pralayic rest.

 Steiner's definitions
Furthermore, Blavatsky describes the "coloured" races either as "remnants" of the fourth of the five historical Root-Races or as "descendants" of both Atlanteans (the fourth root race) and Lemurians (the third root race).
In the context of the Theosophical concept of the seven "root races", the latter are clearly "main races": the Polarian, the Hyperborean, the Lemuric, the Atlantean, and the 5th, 6th and 7th "root races" succeed each other in turn and make up the "earth round".
The claim that the white race is the race of the future is a racial belief.
