In today's world there are several races, four races are considered basic human (some scholars insist on three): caucasian, Mongoloid, Negroid and Australoid.How is the division?Each race has inherited traits unique to her.These characteristics include the color of the skin, eyes and hair, the shape and size of the parts of the face such as the eyes, nose, lips.Besides the external clear hallmarks of any person's race, there are a number of characteristics of creativity, ability to a particular work, and even structural features of the human brain.
Speaking of the four major groups, we can not say that they are divided into small sub-races, which are formed from different nationalities.On the unity of the human species for a long time no one would argue, the best proof of this is the very unity of our lives in which representatives of different races get married and get married, but in these interracial marriages are born viable children.
origin of races, or rather their formation dates back thirty to forty thousand years ago, when people begin to settle in new geographic areas.People adapt to live in certain circumstances, and this depended on the development of certain racial characteristics.Natural selection defines these attributes.At the same time all the races of man preserved the general features of species that characterize Homo sapiens.Evolutionary development, or rather its level, the representatives of the different races of the same.Because all claims of superiority of one nation over others are without any foundation.The concepts of "race", "nation", "nation" can not be mixed and confused, as the territory of one state can live representatives of different races, speak the same language.
caucasian ethnicity: indigenous people who inhabit Europe, South Asia, North Africa.North Caucasians fair-faced and Southerners - swarthy.Narrow face, very prominent nose, soft hair.
Mongoloid race: the center and eastern Asia, Indonesia and the expanses of Siberia.Dark skin with a yellowish tinge, straight coarse hair, a broad flat face, and especially of the eyes.
negroid: a large part of the population of Africa.Skin dark, dark brown eyes, black hair - thick, tough, curly, big lips and nose - wide and flat.
Australoid race.Some scholars have identified it as a branch of the blacks.India, Southeast Asia, Australia and Oceania (the ancient black people).Strongly developed eyebrows, wavy hair, pigmentation, which is weakened.Some Australoids Western Australia, south India, in his youth are natural blondes, the cause is entrenched as a process of mutation.
features of each race of man are hereditary.Their development was primarily due to the relevance and usefulness of a feature representative of a particular race.Thus, extensive nasal cavity quickly and easily warms the cold air before it enters the lungs Mongoloids.And for the blacks it was very important dark color of the skin and the presence of thick curly hair, which formed an air layer, reduces the effects of solar radiation on the body.
For years, the white race is the highest, as Europeans and Americans, endearing peoples of Asia and Africa, so it was profitable.They unleashed the war and seized the lands of others, ruthlessly exploited, and sometimes destroyed entire nations.
Today in America, for example, fewer look at racial differences, there is a mixture of races, that sooner or later will lead to the emergence of a hybrid population.
