From school, we learned that humanity is divided into three main races: Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid. But this is not the limit. Even school textbooks mention concepts such as the intermediate race or racial type. And there are already a considerable number of them. And the concept of "main race" is absolutely incorrect.
Who are americanoids?
The story of the American race begins with the settlement of America. The northern and southern parts of the people who settled around the planet were considered the ends of the earth. Those places were hard to reach, because it was virtually impossible for ancient people to cross the ocean. And if you try to get to those lands by land, you would have to move along the strait that connected Chukotka and Alaska. But sailing along the Bering Strait was problematic, because the peoples of those lands did not differ in special friendliness and hospitality. It was because of this inaccessibility that America was settled much later than other lands.
According to historical data, the migration of the first people to the mainland began about 13-15 thousand years ago. The Indians populated South and North America, periodically the inhabitants of Asia came to the lands, but these guests were always temporary and very rare. According to the anthropological type, the Indians belong to the American race. But despite the fact that they live in a variety of geographical and climatic zones, representatives of this race are always similar to each other. If you look at the photo of the Americanoid, posted below, you can get an idea of their appearance.

In fact, the Indians were not very lucky. From the very first days, they encountered Europeans who diligently tried to destroy them. When it turned out to be impossible, they began to examine them. And to this day, the American race is considered the most unexplored of all. There are almost no purebred Indians, and if they live somewhere, then this is most likely the land of Amazonia, where it is not so easy to get to. Of course, the territories of both South and North America were always considered inaccessible, the inhabitants of those lands were as if isolated from the rest of the world. But this did not prevent the process of migration of Americanoids, Indians and other inhabitants of the globe. Thus appeared the so-called Arctic race, which was a historically transitional link. These include the following residents of nearby territories: Chukchi, Eskimos, Aleuts, Koryaks. These representatives have a Mongoloid base, which is complemented by American and Native American features. These include a large nose and a massive lower jaw. Photos of the American race, its former representatives, have not been preserved. But there are many illustrations left.
Traits of the American Race
If we talk about the external component, then the Americanoids themselves have their own set of features inherent only to them. First of all, it is skin color - most often light, a little less often a little dark. The first guests of the American lands, mainly Europeans, noted that the Indians differed in too light skin. But historians have little doubt about this, and the explanation here is pretty banal. The fact is that travelers were on the road for about two months, and on the ship few regularly indulged in bathing. Most likely, the differences in the skin were striking only because the Indians were simply cleaner than the new arrivals. If we talk about today, the color of the skin of the inhabitants of America defies any geographical explanation. Usually light-skinned live in the north, black-skinned at the equator. But this rule did not apply to America. At the equator, including in South America (for example, in Brazil), you can meet groups of people with really too fair skin, while the darkest ones live in Florida, California and so on. History tells us that just the skin color of the Indians living in California for a long time was even close to the black one. In addition to skin color, a distinctive feature of Americanoids can be considered perfectly straight black hair. They are similar in eyes to the representatives of the Mongoloid race. Their face is quite large, "heavy." The most broad-faced are the Indians of North America. They even set a record. Despite beautiful hair, Americanoids have a poor beard and mustache. You can recognize the American Indians by the nose, which resembles potatoes, it is convex and very large. It is also called eagle.
Varieties
Due to the fact that americanoids are poorly studied, territorial groups are also not thoroughly investigated. Theoretically, the following races can be put forward:
- North American.
- Central American
- South American.
- Patagos.
- Fire land.
However, one cannot be 100% sure of such a separation. Most likely, they are based solely on territorial attributes. And inside these species, they should be divided into smaller categories. The American race originated from populations of both Europeans and Asians.
North America
North Americans are known for their rather large body sizes. Take, for example, Stephen Seagal: the parameters of the actor are impressive, and he always does not forget to mention that he has Indian roots. Often, the representatives of the American race have a wide chest, developed muscles, long legs. That is why it seems that they are more than other people. The big nose complements the picture. There are other variations, for example, many scientists distinguish the Californian race. Here we are already talking about bearded men with a concave face shape and women with a low face. The California type is believed to be the result of Asian migration. This theory does not have direct evidence, and the most reliable indirect evidence is that the researchers found some Japanese things in the old Indian settlements, most often they were samurai sabers. Whether this affected anthropology is unknown, but the fact remains.
Central America
The Central American race has been studied even worse than any other. At this stage, it is very difficult to study, because it is very mixed. Initially, it is believed that representatives of this category were short, had a concave nose, that is, they were the exact opposite of North Americans. To date, they are so mixed with other representatives of the planet that it has long been possible to isolate a new race. Conventionally, it is called Mexican, Puerto Rican or Latinos - as is customary to say in America. But to give any specific characteristics and descriptions is not possible, since the Central American race has not actually been studied.
South America
Things are even more complicated here. Giant territory, a huge number of different races and living conditions - all this together complicates the research process. The southernmost Patagonian race is characterized by high growth and large size. Even Magellan described them as excessively large people. But, as studies show, their growth usually does not exceed 1.80 m, which is considered an average. Most likely, the Europeans of the 15th century, with their average height at that time 1.60 m, people 20 centimeters taller seemed huge, and they described them as giants three meters tall.
