"Mestizos are beautiful people!" This statement has long been settled in modern culture. You won’t surprise anyone, and many current stars openly talk about the blood of which peoples gave such a beautiful type of appearance as theirs. But this was far from always.
In order to understand who such mestizos are, people of what nationality can be considered as such, you need to introduce the concept of race. So what is a race? This is a collection of gene pools of people collected according to certain biological characteristics and the general habitat. There are three of them - Mongoloid, Negroid and Caucasoid. In their pure form, they were previously distributed across the continents - Africa was inhabited by the Negroid race, Europe by the Caucasians, Asia and the American continent by the Mongoloid race. However, population migration and general globalization gradually led to the fact that the races began to mix with each other. This is how mestizos came about - people in whose blood genes of several races were mixed.
Initially, in many cultures, mestizos were personas non grata. Until the 20th century, social inequality existed between races, including mestizos. In general, initially this term denoted only one variation of racial mixing. Mestizos are people of this type, descendants of Europeans and Native Americans, Indians. That is, a mixture of the Mongoloid and Caucasoid races. Representatives of the mixed type of Negroids and Caucasians were previously called mulattos, and the descendants of the Mongoloid and Negroid races - Sambo. At the moment, all of these options are called one term.
It was previously believed that mestizos are people who are the result of all kinds of mutations. It was assumed that marriages between representatives of different races are not able to give healthy offspring, and that among such children the percentage of mutants is inferior, inferior or suffering from various diseases of people. In fact, the research of ethnographers, geneticists, and sociologists put everything in its place. With the exception of purely external factors, mestizos are no different from representatives of purebred races. Moreover, due to the fact that the resettlement of peoples has become the norm not only within the continent, but throughout the planet for several hundred years, there is no reason to talk about the purity of races. All current people are in some kind of mestizo generation.
If we talk about prevalence, then mestizos are whole nations. The same Arabs, Lebanese, Algerians, representatives of most nationalities of Central and South America are also them.
Well, what about the beauty of mestizos? First of all, it is due to unusual combinations of facial features, figures, skin color, eyes, hair in representatives of mixed marriages. For example, blue-eyed people with dark skin look more unusual, and often more beautiful than ordinary Europeans or African Americans. The same applies to the beauty of Latinos - the combination of fair skin and Negroid puffy lips, curly hair and dark eyes cannot fail to attract attention. Well, and to visually see how mestizos stand out, people whose photos flicker on the pages of glossy magazines, look at these pictures. Take a look at the photos of Shakira, Beyonce, Salma Hayek, Vanessa May and other celebrities. All of them are descendants of mixed marriages and have a very expressive appearance.
