The Violet Race After the Days of Adam

78:3.1The vi­o­let race re­tained the Edenic tra­di­tions of peace­ful­ness for many mil­len­ni­ums, which ex­plains their long de­lay in mak­ing ter­ri­to­rial con­quests. When they suf­fered from pop­u­la­tion pres­sure, in­stead of mak­ing war to se­cure more ter­ri­tory, they sent forth their ex­cess in­hab­i­tants as teach­ers to the other races. The cul­tural ef­fect of these ear­lier mi­gra­tions was not en­dur­ing, but the ab­sorp­tion of the Adamite teach­ers, traders, and ex­plor­ers was bi­o­log­i­cally in­vig­o­rat­ing to the sur­round­ing peo­ples.

78:3.2Some of the Adamites early jour­neyed west­ward to the val­ley of the Nile; oth­ers pen­e­trated east­ward into Asia, but these were a mi­nor­ity. The mass move­ment of the later days was ex­ten­sively north­ward and thence west­ward. It was, in the main, a grad­ual but un­remit­ting north­ward push, the greater num­ber mak­ing their way north and then cir­cling west­ward around the Caspian Sea into Eu­rope.

78:3.3About twenty-five thou­sand years ago many of the purer el­e­ments of the Adamites were well on their north­ern trek. And as they pen­e­trated north­ward, they be­came less and less Adamic un­til, by the times of their oc­cu­pa­tion of Tur­kes­tan, they had be­come thor­oughly ad­mixed with the other races, par­tic­u­larly the Nod­ites. Very few of the pure-line vi­o­let peo­ples ever pen­e­trated far into Eu­rope or Asia.

78:3.4From about 30,000 to 10,000 B.C. epoch-mak­ing racial mix­tures were tak­ing place through­out south­west­ern Asia. The high­land in­hab­i­tants of Tur­kes­tan were a vir­ile and vig­or­ous peo­ple. To the north­west of In­dia much of the cul­ture of the days of Van per­sisted. Still to the north of these set­tle­ments the best of the early An­don­ites had been pre­served. And both of these su­pe­rior races of cul­ture and char­ac­ter were ab­sorbed by the north­ward-mov­ing Adamites. This amal­ga­ma­tion led to the adop­tion of many new ideas; it fa­cil­i­tated the prog­ress of civ­i­liza­tion and greatly ad­vanced all phases of art, sci­ence, and so­cial cul­ture.

78:3.5As the pe­riod of the early Adamic mi­gra­tions ended, about 15,000 B.C., there were al­ready more de­scen­dants of Adam in Eu­rope and cen­tral Asia than any­where else in the world, even than in Mes­o­po­ta­mia. The Eu­ro­pean blue races had been largely in­fil­trated. The lands now called Rus­sia and Tur­kes­tan were oc­cu­pied through­out their south­ern stretches by a great reser­voir of the Adamites mixed with Nod­ites, An­don­ites, and red and yel­low San­giks. South­ern Eu­rope and the Med­i­ter­ra­nean fringe were oc­cu­pied by a mixed race of An­don­ite and San­gik peo­ples—or­ange, green, and in­digo—with a sprin­kling of the Adamite stock. Asia Mi­nor and the cen­tral-east­ern Eu­ro­pean lands were held by tribes that were pre­dom­i­nantly An­don­ite.

78:3.6A blended col­ored race, about this time greatly re­in­forced by ar­rivals from Mes­o­po­ta­mia, held forth in Egypt and pre­pared to take over the dis­ap­pear­ing cul­ture of the Eu­phrates val­ley. The black peo­ples were mov­ing far­ther south in Africa and, like the red race, were vir­tu­ally iso­lated.

78:3.7The Sa­ha­ran civ­i­liza­tion had been dis­rupted by drought and that of the Med­i­ter­ra­nean basin by flood. The blue races had, as yet, failed to de­velop an ad­vanced cul­ture. The An­don­ites were still scat­tered over the Arc­tic and cen­tral Asian re­gions. The green and or­ange races had been ex­ter­mi­nated as such. The in­digo race was mov­ing south in Africa, there to be­gin its slow but long-con­tin­ued racial de­te­ri­o­ra­tion.

78:3.8The peo­ples of In­dia lay stag­nant, with a civ­i­liza­tion that was un­pro­gress­ing; the yel­low man was con­sol­i­dat­ing his hold­ings in cen­tral Asia; the brown man had not yet be­gun his civ­i­liza­tion on the near-by is­lands of the Pa­cific.

78:3.9These racial dis­tri­bu­tions, as­so­ci­ated with ex­ten­sive cli­matic changes, set the world stage for the in­au­gu­ra­tion of the And­ite era of Uran­tia civ­i­liza­tion. These early mi­gra­tions ex­tended over a pe­riod of ten thou­sand years, from 25,000 to 15,000 B.C. The later or And­ite mi­gra­tions ex­tended from about 15,000 to 6000 B.C.

78:3.10It took so long for the ear­lier waves of Adamites to pass over Eura­sia that their cul­ture was largely lost in tran­sit. Only the later And­ites moved with suf­fi­cient speed to re­tain the Edenic cul­ture at any great dis­tance from Mes­o­po­ta­mia.
