What is race

Probably, each of us knows what a race is. Today we do not attach special importance to this issue and the history of the origin of the races. In fact, it's quite interesting. The human race is a group of people that have developed historically, they have similarities in their 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 do not have a clue how it is classified, do not know the specifics of each one. The long separation of people by color has similarities with modern. Allocate such types of races: Negroid, Europoid and Mongoloid. All of them differ significantly from each other. There are also small races (there are about 30 of them) and they are located between the three main races. To date, there are almost no pure representatives of their people, mixed marriages have done their job.

We will discuss each of the races. Negro people are people who have dark and curly hair, chocolate-brown skin, brown eyes, a wide nose, plump lips and rather protruding jaws. Most of the representatives of this race live in Africa, but you can meet them anywhere in the world.

Representatives of the Mongoloid race have a yellow shade of skin, a narrow section of the eyes, the color of which is also brown, usually dark hair and strongly protruding cheekbones. Their lips are thickened, and their nose is low. The eyes of such people are often slightly slanting and the vegetation on the face is very rare. This race prevails in Asia, but, thanks to migration, such people can be found anywhere in the world. According to the researchers, the Mongoloid race inhabited the planet by 50%. Of this number, more than half of the Chinese. The considered category of people is divided into three smaller groups: northern Mongoloid, southern and American (Indian).

The European race consists of people with fair skin, medium-full lips and a narrow nose. The color of their eyes is varied: shades of blue, gray and green, as well as light brown. In men, the scalp on the face is developed in sufficient, sometimes excessive amounts. The hair of the members of this race is wavy or straight, the eyes are wide open. Today they live throughout the Earth, but such people originated in Europe and in the Near East. Some scientists believe that there is a Caucasoid Mongoloid race (a mixture of two peoples). Probably, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

What is the race and how it was formed, studied thousands of scientists. They came to the conclusion that, depending on the place of residence, people acquired certain facial features, skin color and hair. For example, representatives of the Negroid group had dark skin and stiff hairs to make it easier for them to endure hot weather, unbearable heat. Previously, people did not know what a race was, and behaved cruelly towards other people. Today, this phenomenon is called racism, and the representatives of the above groups have long been mixed and live together on the entire territory of our planet.
