The three major races in the world

The three major races in the world are Mongols, blacks and Europeans.

Mongolians (yellow race, Asian American race) are mainly distributed in East Asia, Southeast Asia, Siberia and Central Asia. Indians in North America and Inuit in the Arctic are also Mongols.

Black people are mainly distributed in south-central Africa. Black Americans are also descendants of black Africans. Black people living in Australia, Pacific islands and the southeast edge of Asia are also called brown people or Malay-Polynesians.

Europeans (Caucasians, Caucasians) are mainly distributed in Europe, North Africa, West Asia and South Asia. Residents in the United States, Australia, New Zealand and other regions are mostly descendants of Europa immigrants.

In addition, the communication and integration between the major races have formed many hybrids. Central and western Asia and northeastern Africa are the combination of three major ethnic groups, and a series of transitional ethnic groups have emerged since ancient times. In modern America and Oceania, racial mixing is also obvious.

According to textual research, the origin of Mongolian race may be in the Mongolian Plateau. It is precisely because of the sandstorm and climate in the north and south of the desert that the typical characteristics of this species are formed: small eye fissure and inner canthus fold. With the rapid increase of population, Mongolian people have been migrating outward: those who entered America through the Bering Strait formed Indian branches; People who enter the Arctic Circle form a branch of Inuit (Eskimos); What stays in North Asia is the branch of North Asia, which generally has a lighter complexion, a larger face and thinner lips. The branch of South Asia moves south to the south of the Yangtze River and reaches Southeast Asia, with darker skin color, smaller face, thicker lips, wider nose and wings, and some of them are mixed with black characteristics. The East Asian branch is located in the north of the Yangtze River, and its physical characteristics are between the South Asian branch and the North Asian branch.

The Europa race originally originated in North Africa, West Asia and Southern Europe, and later, with the retreat of glaciers, it gradually pushed northward, forming two branches: the south and the north. In the cold climate of northern Europe, the skin color of the northern branch is lighter, the eyes are gray or light blue, and the hair is light yellow or golden yellow; The skin in North Africa, West Asia and Southern Europe is darker, and the eyes and hair are mostly black; Between the north and south branches is the Central European branch, and the skin color, hair color and eye contact between them are generally brown.

Black people are divided into east and west. Western branches originated in sub-Saharan Africa and can be subdivided into Sudanese, Bantu, Nyroos, Pygmies and Khoisan branches. The East Branch, that is, the Australian race, was originally formed in South Asia, and was later divided into the Australian Branch, the Papua and Melanesian Branches, and the Veda and negri Branches in South and Southeast Asia during the migration process.

The three major races in the world began to form 40,000 to 50,000 years ago at the end of the Paleolithic period. With the passage of time, in addition to the internal differentiation of the three major races into many branches, some mixed types have also formed among the three major races. Generally speaking, Ural type and middle subtype were formed between Mongolian and European races. Ainu type and Polynesian type are formed between Mongolian species and black species; Between the black race and the Europa race, the Daropi type in South India and the Ethiopian type in Northeast Africa were formed. All of the above are mixed-race types formed in ancient times. In modern times, in North and South America, Oceania, South Africa and other regions, a large number of mixed-race peoples with more complex ethnic composition have also been formed. With the increasing exchanges between people of all ethnic groups in modern society and frequent population movements, the process of racial mixing will be further strengthened.
