Where is the main distribution area of black people?

There are two kinds of blacks: South Africa and North Africa. The former is distributed in sub-Saharan Africa, with a short nose, usually a round skull and a very dark complexion. The latter is distributed in the Sahel region of Africa, with a thick nose and small lips, usually with a long skull and dark skin.

The earliest racial classification is the mural painting of the tomb of Siti I of the 18th dynasty in ancient Egypt more than 3,000 years ago. It uses different colors to distinguish human beings and divides human beings into four categories. Black people in the south were painted black, the other three were painted red by Egyptians, yellow by Asians, and white by westerners and northerners, which became the basis for later dividing human beings into white, yellow, black and brown.

First, the early racial classification

The earliest racial classification is the mural painting of the tomb of Siti I of the 18th dynasty in ancient Egypt more than 3,000 years ago. It uses different colors to distinguish human beings and divides human beings into four categories.

Black people in the south were painted black, the other three were painted red by Egyptians, yellow by Asians and white by westerners and northerners. It became the basis for later dividing human beings into four types: white, yellow, black and brown.

According to the classification made by the Swedish scientist Linnaeus in 1758, the four major races, namely, African blacks and European whites, Asian yellow people and American red people, are divided into rational races (Americans are actually yellow people).

Second, racial classification.

1, yellow race

The yellow race is mainly characterized by dark and hard hair, inner canthus folds in eyes, underdeveloped body hair and light skin color. Mainly distributed in eastern and southeastern Asia and the continents of North and South America.

2. White people

Caucasian, the main feature is wavy and soft hair, mainly in five colors: white, gold, red, brown and black. The cheekbones are not obvious, the nose is high and the lips are thin. Generally, the skull is long and the skin color is light.

Caucasians mainly originated from the aborigines in North Africa after albinism, and then spread to North Africa, West Asia, Central Asia, South Asia and Europe, and gradually spread to the whole of Oceania, South America and North America from the16th century.

3. Black people

Black people, mainly characterized by small black curly hair, are generally divided into South Africa and North Africa. The former is distributed in sub-Saharan Africa with a short nose, usually a round skull and extremely dark skin. The latter is distributed in the Sahel region of Africa, with a thick nose and small lips, usually with a long skull and a dark skin color.
