Mongoloid race is a race of indigenous inhabitants of northern and eastern Asia, and the Far North.
It is quite numerous: the number of people who belong to it, about 20% of the world's population.
Mongoloid race: signs
representatives of this race have a direct rigid dark hair, a yellowish complexion, brown eyes, prominent cheekbones face, narrow or medium wide nose with a low bridge of the nose, moderately thickened lips, and a typical skin fold of the upper eyelid,which covers the lacrimal tubercle in the inner corner of eyes.This fold is called epicanthus.Characteristic of the Mongoloids is weak development of hair.
Mongoloid race in many ways, and the origin is close to American Indians, who in this case is rare epicanthus, the nose is very strong, and the general characteristics of Mongoloid appearance are often smoothed.In Asia, the Mongoloid race can be subdivided into two main groups - the Pacific and the mainland: the second differs from the first darker skin, a very large face, ortognatizmom rather thin lips.
representatives
outstanding representatives of the Mongoloid race are Mongols enslaved most of Eurasia in the XIII century.Classic Mongoloids (northern Mongoloid race) - it is also the Kalmyks, Tuva, Buryatia, Yakutia.To apply Mongoloid Siberian Tatars, who mixed with the so-called West Siberian race.Residents of southern China, the Japanese, the Koreans are the southern Mongoloid race, which has signs of mixing with Australoids.The population of Southeast Asia and Indochina this admixture even more noticeable.
history
All specialists in anthropology is no longer question the intimacy Americanoid and Mongoloid races.Asians, Mongoloids and amerikanoidy-Indians have much in common.This is evident not only in appearance but also in genetic characteristics (mtDNA and Y-chromosome they have the same).There is also a similarity of beliefs (the cult of the crow, or the cult of the eagle).
Some studies also states that the modern Mongoloid race under Americanoid race.Characteristic of the Mongoloids (the Central Asian type) some scientists refer to the group's youngest races.The origin of the eastern trunk as a whole (the ancestors of the Indians and Mongoloids) is rather complicated.It is believed that the typical Mongoloid race was formed in Central Asia in the territory of the harsh climate.The options are many of its origin, to find the truth to be learned.
Intsipientnaya Mongoloid in the Neolithic appeared in Europe (Bavaria).Mongoloid race differs spatulate incisors and both times they were found in Sinanthropus, who lived 420,000 years ago.
Territory contact with other races
These are areas such as the Central Asia, Siberia and Kazakhstan.Initially, the Great Steppe was inhabited by Iranian-speaking Caucasians (Scythians), but about the V century Mongolians have settled here.
in Southeast Asia initially lived Australoids, but later on this territory penetrated Mongoloids.
Mongoloid race is divided into several sub-races - the North Asian, South Asian, Arctic, Far Eastern, American.
addition to the three (four, according to another classification) great human races with sub-races, there are still a small race, specific, but their origin is not clearly established.Presumably, they could have been formed from ancient poorly differentiated populations on the border of climatic zones (small race - transition) when contacting the population of different races (small race - mixed), or as a result of distant migrations in unusual accommodation, when it was necessary for them to adapt andgenerate other indications or to revive those that were (metamorfoznye sub-races).
