Our humanity belongs to the form of “homo sapiens”, which in turn is divided into races. These subspecies can be defined as biological groups that have some differences in morphological characters (eye, hair, skin color; face, nose, lips; body proportions) that are hereditary and originated under the influence of the environment in the distant past. Each of them has one origin, formation and place of occurrence. Scientists distinguish the three largest categories: Caucasoid (white race), Mongoloid (yellow) and Negroid (black). Although, in general, there are more than 30 of them.
In Africa, Australia and Oceania, “dark” people live fundamentally. They have a slender long-legged body, black or brown skin and eyes and hair of the same color (hard and curly), as well as thick lips and a wide flattened nose. Negroids are Africans, Australians, and Melanesians. Currently, a large number of them live in America, as in the old days, slaveholders forcibly took them out of Africa.
The white race characterizes its representatives with light or dark-skinned skin; soft straight (sometimes wavy) hair, the color of which can be from wheat to black; eyes can also be different: from blue to brown; narrow long nose and thin lips. They inhabit Europe, North Africa and part of Asia. In recent centuries, the European race has spread widely throughout America, New Zealand, and Australia.
The third type is the Mongoloids. They have yellowish skin, a wide flattened face,
straight dark hair, narrow eyes, protruding cheekbones, short flat nose and middle lips. Initially, they lived in Asia, but, like others, gradually expanded their habitats.
Since all races of people have the same origin and have repeatedly been mixed with each other at all times, it is impossible to establish a clear border between them, therefore there are various mixed groups.
How were the groups of people outlined above formed? The descendants of each of them lived in different places, and under the prolonged influence of natural factors caused by a specific climate, peculiar morphological characters were fixed in people. So, the white race owes its protruding narrow nose (to warm the air) and white skin to a cold climate and mild sun.
After such a classification, some scholars suggested that in human society, the driving force for development is the struggle for existence, and this war should be waged between species of people, and it was based on the natural laws of nature. They believed that the white race is biologically stronger people than others, and did not recognize their common unity. Thus, racism arose with its division into “higher” and “lower” peoples, which supposedly justified the fascist extermination and brutal colonization of Africans and Asians.
In the end, the failure of the principles of racism was dispelled by scientific research (rassovedenie), which studied the history of the formation of human races and their features.
