Currently we've only seen the existance of the Human race, but we know there will be others. I've decided to post a list of the races that we're still waiting to see come to life. Each race is loosly based on an animal species as you will NOTICE.
HUMAN
Humans originate from the Northern Continent and are an intelligent race. They were one of the first races to discover and colonize the Central Continent and because of such they are now spread out and populate the majority of the cities. However to the North the humans are rarely seen, and only a few nomadic tribes still remain. The humans were the first race to emerge from the blue crystals, and were the first of the Eternal Guardians.
ZUMI
The Zumi are a petite race made up of creative and inventive individuals who have a passion for commerce and are often seen trading. The Zumi originally come from the parched deserts of the south-east. They began to move to the Central Continent for the purpose of trading which came from so many various races moving to one central location. They are generally friendly and get along well with most races, although they don't usually look to highly upon the Anuran.
ANURAN
As a race the Anuran were originally shy in relation to interacting with other races and kept themselves fairly isolated from the rest of the world. Although after they initially made contact with the other races they became curious and adapted to their new surroundings on the Central Continent. Now they're seen as a friendly and helpful race. The Anuran are also seen as having a great sense of humour and try not to take anything too seriously. They're usually very loyal to other Races who they've found companions in.
URSUN
The Ursun were one of the original races known to the Central Continent, because they originated in the High Mountains of the Central Continent. They come from a Race that focuses largely on their history and culture and hold it in high value. Several hundred years back they were originally under the rule of a great King but a struggle for the throne then began to divide the kingdom into two warring factions. The usurper had failed to overthrow the King, but before his death lead his followers to the lowlands, where they remaining to this day.
TORTURRAN
The torturran are the most ancient of race, and date back even before the rivers opened and filled the sea. This race is renowned for it's knowledge of magic, herblore, and they are the keepers of the worlds lost secrets. Most stay true to the ancient ways, but as with all races, some stray into the practice of dark rituals. However, the rest are known to be the very symbol of intelligence and advice, and they're willing to help.
OGRE
Ogres are not the smartest of Races, but their strength in combat makes up for that aspect. They will not turn down a fight and are reveared for slaughter. They often end up as foot soldiers in the humans armies because they're not so bright, but are brutal in battle.
TUSKAR
As did the Ursun, the Tuskar originated on the central continent. Their population rapidly increases as does their territory. They're a rough and tumble bunch and their fierce reputation and vicious nature haven't earned them much trust with others. Although they now live among other races, they're much more loyal to their own. They seldom think before they act, and like to bully others.
DRAKAI
The Drakai are a fairly unknown race, and they do not speak much of their origins, often replying with a statement such as "I am here and now, and that's where I shall stay." They are however a very social race, and create tightly-knit clusters regardless of blood relations. The drakai are also very intune with magic, and are often found dabbling in necromancy and destruction magic. They're proven to not be the smartest of creature, and are often easily manipulated into evil acts.
That was just a quick look at each of the Races, information from this was borrowed from:

Coo
A GM said on Sunday(in game) that they would be adding another race(not sure about 2) shortly after OB release and that it would be the Zumi.
For me it's a tie between the Zumi and the tort race. Guess I will see when OB comes around which is avail.
Edit ^ shows that Zumi might be the new race. If thats the case then thats the one (probabl along with everyone else for that moment) that i will play.
Help me Bioware, you're my only hope.
Is ToR going to be good? Dude it's Bioware making a freaking star wars game, all signs point to awesome. -G4tv MMo report.
I believe it is ZUMI that will be the next race, followed by Anuran. I am waiting for the tortoise race as well; Torturran. It seems to me to be a good backstory, and that sort of thing is important to me. (Plus I like to look at myself as a wise person willing to help, but can own some ass with magic if need be.. lol
