Why the white race is considered the highest

Our humanity refers to the species "homosapiens ", which in turn is divided into races. These subspecies can be defined as biological groups that have some differences in morphological features (eye, hair, skin, face, nose, lips, body proportions) that are hereditary and originated under the influence of the environment in the distant past. Each of them has one origin, formation and place of origin. Scientists distinguish the three largest categories: Caucasoid (white race), Mongoloid (yellow) and Negroid (black). Although, in general, there are more than 30 of them.

On the territory of Africa, Australia and Oceaniathe "dark" people are deeply rooted. They have a slender long-legged body, black or brown skin and the same color of eyes and hair (hard and curly), as well as thick lips and a broad flattened nose. Negroids are Africans, Australians and Melanesians. Currently, a large number of them live on the territory of America, as in the old days slave owners forcibly exported them from Africa.

The white race characterizes its representativeslight or dark complexioned skin; soft, straight (sometimes wavy) hair, the color of which can be from wheat to black; eyes can also be different: from blue to brown; A narrow long nose and thin lips. They inhabit Europe, North Africa and part of Asia. In recent centuries the European race has spread widely across America, New Zealand and Australia.

The third species is the Mongoloids. They have a yellowish skin, a broad, flattened face, straight dark hair, narrow eyes, prominent cheekbones, short flat nose and medium lips. Originally they lived in Asia, but, like others, gradually expanded their habitats.

Since all races of people have one originand repeatedly mixed with each other at all times, a clear boundary between them can not be established, so there are various mixed groups.

How did the above-mentioned groupsof people? The descendants of each of them lived in different places, and under the long-term impact of natural factors conditioned by a specific climate, people had specific morphological features. So, the white race owes its protruding narrow nose (for warming the air) and the white skin to the cold climate and the soft sun.

After this classification, some scholarssuggested that in human society the driving force of development is the struggle for existence, and this war must be waged between species of people, and it was based on the natural laws of nature. They believed that the white race was biologically stronger people, compared to others, and did not recognize their common unity. Thus, racism arose with its division into "higher" and "lower" peoples, which supposedly justified the fascist annihilation and cruel colonization of Africans and Asians.

In the end, the failure of the principles of racism was dispelled by scientific research (racology), which studied the history of the formation of human races and their characteristics.
