The historical development of the white race

The white race is one of the four major human races in the world, also known as the Europa race, European race, Eurasian race, Indo-European race or white race. Mainly distributed in a vast area from India to Spain, including Europe and adjacent North Africa, West Africa and India. Due to the large number of immigrants from Europe in the past five centuries, America and Australia have also become the main distribution areas of the Caucasian race.

The main physical characteristics of the Caucasian race are soft straight or thick hair, well-developed body hair and beard, brown, gray or blue eyes, high nose bridge, lips that do not protrude forward, and small mouth width. , thin lips; the characteristics of the skull are small or medium nasal index, high nasal tip index, high nasal root height and width index, small horizontal plane angle, and medium or extremely developed canine fossa. The skin color of the Caucasian race is relatively different. The skin color of the European race is very light, while the skin color of the Ethiopian race in North Africa, the Arab race in the Near East and the North Indian race in South Asia is quite dark.

Compared with other ethnic groups, inter-ethnic variability within Caucasians is generally smaller. In prehistoric times and early history, there were frequent contacts and migrations between Caucasian races in various places. For nearly 1,200 years, marriage segregation among Muslims in the Near East and North Africa weakened their genetic ties.
