There are millions of people on our planet. Each has its own characteristics and original appearance. All people can be conditionally divided into races. In this case, these groups will differ in the main features, i.e., the color of the skin, eyes, hair. These differences are passed on from parents to children. They can change, but this process is very complex and lengthy.
The emergence of racial characteristics
Today there are only a few races. This is a Caucasoid, Mongoloid and Negroid race. They are the most numerous at present. In ancient times, their number was ten times greater.
The question of the appearance of races is akin to the question "where did people come from." Despite the achievements of science, these topics are still relevant and not fully elucidated. Many scientists are inclined to the version that the division into races occurred under the influence of climatic conditions. The peoples who once inhabited the continents were exposed to various external factors. For example, dark skin color among residents of hot countries appeareddue to constant exposure to the sun. The specific shape of the eyes of the Mongoloids protected from the steppe wind and sand.
Most of all, these changes were felt by the Negroid race. It is believed that the features of appearance were fixed at the very beginning of the existence of its representatives. They originally lived on the African continent. Other peoples could not penetrate these territories. They were hampered by vast distances, seas, oceans and mountain ranges. All this made possible the emergence of clear differences between people.
Negroid race: signs
Representatives of this race are distinguished by dark skin (brown or black), slender figure, long legs, dark curly hair, wide lips and nose, dark eyes. The Negroid race is divided into African and Oceanic (Papuans, Australians, Vedas, Melanesians). In the first case, people have practically no facial hair. In the second case, the beard and mustache grow profusely.
Today, many representatives of the Negroid race represent a significant part of the American population. They are the descendants of the Negroes who inhabited these places after the discovery of the continents.
Mixing
Some time ago, each nation was dominated by representatives of any race. Currently, one can observe their mixing. For example, representatives of all races can live in one country. In addition, often the result of such mixing is the emergence of new racial types. For example, Russiansare representatives of the European race. However, among them very often there are people with a narrow cut of the eyes and wide cheekbones. These are the consequences of mixing with the Mongoloid race.
The Negroid race has spread across all continents. As a result, Europeans developed curly hair, very plump lips and wide noses. Because of this mixing, mulattoes appeared, of which there are many on the American continent and Australia. Some peoples of America are mestizos. They inherited the features of both the Caucasoid race and the Mongoloid.
The emergence of new subspecies of races is possible today. In today's world, people have the ability to travel any distance, anywhere in the world. This provides an excellent opportunity to create a new, unique appearance of a person.
