Mongoloid race is a race of indigenous inhabitants of northern and eastern Asia, as well as areas of the Far North.
It is quite numerous: the number of people who belong to it is about 20% of the total population of the Earth.
Mongoloid race: signs
Representatives of this race have straight harddark hair, yellowish skin, brown eyes, prominent cheekbones of the face, narrow or medium-wide nose with a low nose, moderately thickened lips, as well as a typical skin fold of the upper eyelid, which covers the lacrimal tubercle in the inner corner of the eyes. This fold is called the epicanthus. Characteristic of the Mongoloids is poor development of hair.
Mongoloid race in many ways andThe origin is close to the American Indians, who rarely have an epicantus, their nose is stronger, and the general characteristics of the Mongoloid look are often smoothed. In Asia, it is customary to subdivide the Mongoloid race into two main groups - Pacific and Continental: the second differs from the first with darker skin, a very large face, orthognathism, rather thin lips.
Representatives of
Vivid representatives of the Mongoloid race arethe Mongols who enslaved most of Eurasia in the thirteenth century. The classical Mongoloids (the northern Mongoloid race) are also Kalmyks, Tuvans, Buryats, and Yakuts. The Mongoloids also include the Siberian Tatars, which are mixed with the so-called West Siberian race. The inhabitants of southern China, the Japanese, and Koreans belong to the southern Mongoloid race, which has signs of mixing with the Australoids. This impurity is even more pronounced among the population of Southeast Asia and Indochina.
History
All anthropologists are no longer subject todoubt the closeness of the amerikanoid and mongoloid races. Asian Mongolians and American Indians have much in common. This is manifested not only in appearance, but also in genetic characteristics (they have the same MT-DNA and Y-chromosomes). There is also a similarity of beliefs (the cult of a crow, or the cult of an eagle).
Some studies also state thatthat the modern Mongoloid race is younger than the American race. The characteristic Mongolians (Central Asian type), some scientists refer to the group of the youngest races. The question of the origin of the eastern trunk as a whole (the ancestors of the Indians and Mongoloids) is quite complicated. It is assumed that a typical Mongoloid race was formed in Central Asia on the territory of a harsh climate. There are many variants of its origin, scientists are to find the truth.
Mongoloid incipient in the Neolithicappeared in Europe (Bavaria). The Mongoloid race is distinguished by spade-like incisors, and just as they were found in the commanders who lived 420 thousand years ago.
Territories of contact with other races
Это такие зоны как территория Средней Азии, Siberia, Kazakhstan. Initially, the Great Steppe was inhabited by Iranian-speaking representatives of the Caucasian race (Scythians), but approximately from the 5th century the Mongoloids settled here.
The Australoids originally lived in Southeast Asia, but later Mongolians penetrated this territory.
The Mongoloid race is divided into several subraces - North Asian, South Asian, Arctic, Far Eastern, American.
In addition to three (four, according to another classification)large human races with subraces, there are still small races, special, but their origin is not clearly established. Presumably, they could have been formed from ancient poorly differentiated populations on the border of climatic zones (small races - transitional), with contacts of people of different races (small races - mixed), or as a result of distant migrations to unusual living conditions, when it was necessary to adapt to them and produce other signs or revive those that were (metamorphosis subraces).
