Probably each of us knows what a race is. Today we do not attach much importance to this issue and the history of the races. This is actually quite interesting. The human race is a group of people that have developed historically, they have similarities in terms of eyes, hair color, head shape, etc. Not so long ago, the entire population was divided into three main groups: black, yellow and white. Today, everything is different.
Many people know what a race is, but they don’t have a clue how it is classified, they don’t know the features of each of them. The old separation of people by color has similarities with modern. These types of races are distinguished: Negroid, Caucasian, and Mongoloid. All of them are significantly different from each other. There are also small races (there are about 30 of them) and they are located between the three main ones. To date, there are almost no pure representatives of their people; mixed marriages have done their job.
We discuss each of the races. Negroid people are those with dark and curly hair, chocolate-brown skin, brown eyes, a wide nose, puffy lips and jaws that protrude quite far forward. Most representatives of this race live in Africa, but you can meet them in any corner of our planet.
Representatives of the Mongoloid race have a yellow skin tone, a narrow cut of the eyes, the color of which is also brown, as a rule, dark hair and strongly protruding cheekbones. Their lips are thickened and their nose is low. The eyes of such people are often a little slanted and facial hair is very rare. This race prevails in Asia, but thanks to migration, such people can be found anywhere in the world. According to researchers, the Mongoloid race populated the planet by 50%. Of this amount, more than half of the Chinese. The considered category of people is divided into three small groups: northern Mongoloid, southern and American (Native American).
The Caucasoid race consists of people with fair skin, medium full lips and a narrow nose. Their eye color is diverse: shades of blue, gray and green, as well as light brown. In men, the facial hairline is developed in sufficient, sometimes excessive amounts. The hair of representatives of this race is wavy or straight, eyes are wide open. Today they live all over the Earth, but such people were born in Europe and
Western Asia. Some scholars believe that there is a Caucasoid Mongoloid race (a mixture of two peoples). Probably the truth is somewhere in between.
What is a race and how it was formed, studied by thousands of scientists. They came to the conclusion that, depending on the place of residence, people acquired certain facial features, skin and hair color. For example, representatives of the Negroid group had dark skin and hard hair, so that it was easier for them to endure hot weather, unbearable heat. Previously, people did not know what a race was, and they behaved cruelly towards other people. Today this phenomenon is called racism, and representatives of the above groups have long been mixed and live together throughout the entire planet.
