Middle-Easterners and OTHER GROUPS?

Question

You have how they are Australoids, Monogoloids, caucasoids, and Negroids. where do they Middle-Easterns fit in or where do the Cambodians fit? How come Mongoloids are usually smaller, shorter than the other races? How come Negroids have more muscular builds and darker skin than the other races? How come Caucasoids have lighter skin, hair, and eyes than the other races? Does this have anything to do with what they eat or their native environment?

Answer 1

Middle-easterners are part of Caucasoids, they still live in Caucasus mountains now. Camborgians are probably Asian, unless there is some indian (i.e. caucasian) blood.

Africans are not larger than others, look up pygmy people. African Americans tend to be muscular b/c their ancestors were forced into hard physical labor, which killed all the weak ones.

Whites have lighter skin to make better use of what sunlight there is in the north. Hair and eye color is lighter b/c these things are linked.

Answer 2

These racial categories you use--and in fact all broad racial categories--are not uniformly accepted by scientists. The patterns of populations and their genetic traits are very complex (as your question implies) and so these categories are very controversial.

Muscle build and height have much more to do with environment, exercise, nutrition, etc. then with genetics. It does seem that lighter skin develops in populations that have been isolated within northern climates, to allow sunlight through the skin for producing Vitamin D.

Answer 3

The theory is that thousands of years ago a new strain of apes developed that although similar were not identical to apes,that gives the human race a single point of origin.

Since we now have different races,the environment and what we eat definitely play a major part on what we look like and how we live.

It is interesting that despite the difference in races the DNA cannot' recognize any specific race.
