Human Races

In today's world there are several races,Four human races are considered basic (some scholars insist on three): Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid and Australoid. How does division work? Each race has hereditary characteristics inherent only to it. These signs include the color of the skin, eyes and hair, the shape and size of such parts of the face as eyes, nose, lips. In addition to the external distinctive features of any race of man, there are also a number of characteristics of creativity, abilities for this or that work activity and even features of the structure of the human brain.

Speaking of four large groups, it is impossible not tosay that all of them are divided into small sub-races, which are formed from different nationalities and nationalities. No one disputes the species unity of man for a long time, the best proof of this very unity is our life, in which representatives of different people get married and marry, and viable children are born in these interracial marriages.

The origin of races, or rather their formationbegins another thirty-forty thousand years ago, when people begin to settle in new geographical areas. Man adapted to live in certain conditions, this was the development of various racial traits. Natural selection determined these signs. In this case, all races of man retained common species peculiarities, characterizing a rational person. Evolutionary development, or rather its level, in representatives of different races is the same. Therefore, all statements about the superiority of a nation over others have no basis. The concepts of "race," "nation," "nationality" can not be confused and confused, since representatives of different races who speak the same language can live on the territory of one state.

The European race: the indigenous inhabitants inhabiting Europe, South Asia, North Africa. Northern Caucasians are fair-haired, and southerners are swarthy. Narrow face, strongly protruding nose, soft hair.

Mongoloid race: the center and the eastern part of Asia, Indonesia and the expanses of Siberia. Swarthy skin with a yellowish tinge, straight, stiff hair, broad flat face and a special cut of the eyes.

Negroid race: most of the population of Africa. Skin of dark color, dark brown eyes, black hair - thick, hard, curly, big lips, and nose - wide and flat.

The Australoid race. Some scholars distinguish it as a branch of the Negroid race. India, Southeast Asia, Australia and Oceania (the ancient black population). Strongly developed superciliary arches, wavy hair, whose pigmentation is weakened. Some australoids of the west of Australia, the south of India, in their youth are natural blondes, the fault of the mutation process that once entrenched itself.

The characteristics of each human race arehereditary. And their development was due primarily to the need and usefulness of a particular attribute to a representative of a particular race. Thus, the vast nasal cavity faster and easier warms the cold air before it enters the lungs of the Mongoloid. And for a representative of the Negroid race, the dark color of the skin and the presence of dense curly hair, which formed an air layer that reduced the effect of sunlight on the body, were very important.

For many years the white race was considered the highest, sinceEuropeans and Americans, conquering the peoples of Asia and Africa, so it was profitable. They unleashed wars and seized foreign lands, mercilessly exploited, and sometimes even simply destroyed entire nations.

Today in America, for example, people are less likely to look at racial differences, there is a mixture of races, which sooner or later will inevitably lead to the emergence of a hybrid population.
