The Violet Race After the Days of Adam

78:4.1The And­ite races were the pri­mary blends of the pure-line vi­o­let race and the Nod­ites plus the evo­lu­tion­ary peo­ples. In gen­eral, And­ites should be thought of as hav­ing a far greater per­cent­age of Adamic blood than the mod­ern races. In the main, the term And­ite is used to des­ig­nate those peo­ples whose racial in­her­i­tance was from one-eighth to one-sixth vi­o­let. Mod­ern Uran­tians, even the north­ern white races, con­tain much less than this per­cent­age of the blood of Adam.

78:4.2The ear­li­est And­ite peo­ples took ori­gin in the re­gions ad­ja­cent to Mes­o­po­ta­mia more than twenty-five thou­sand years ago and con­sisted of a blend of the Adamites and Nod­ites. The sec­ond gar­den was sur­rounded by con­cen­tric cir­cles of di­min­ish­ing vi­o­let blood, and it was on the pe­riph­ery of this racial melt­ing pot that the And­ite race was born. Later on, when the mi­grat­ing Adamites and Nod­ites en­tered the then fer­tile re­gions of Tur­kes­tan, they soon blended with the su­pe­rior in­hab­i­tants, and the re­sul­tant race mix­ture ex­tended the And­ite type north­ward.

78:4.3The And­ites were the best all-round hu­man stock to ap­pear on Uran­tia since the days of the pure-line vi­o­let peo­ples. They em­braced most of the high­est types of the sur­viv­ing rem­nants of the Adamite and Nod­ite races and, later, some of the best strains of the yel­low, blue, and green men.

78:4.4These early And­ites were not Aryan; they were pre-Aryan. They were not white; they were pre-white. They were nei­ther an Oc­ci­den­tal nor an Ori­en­tal peo­ple. But it is And­ite in­her­i­tance that gives to the poly­glot mix­ture of the so-called white races that gen­er­al­ized ho­mo­gene­ity which has been called Cau­ca­soid.

78:4.5The purer strains of the vi­o­let race had re­tained the Adamic tra­di­tion of peace-seek­ing, which ex­plains why the ear­lier race move­ments had been more in the na­ture of peace­ful mi­gra­tions. But as the Adamites united with the Nod­ite stocks, who were by this time a bel­liger­ent race, their And­ite de­scen­dants be­came, for their day and age, the most skill­ful and saga­cious mil­i­tarists ever to live on Uran­tia. Thence­forth the move­ments of the Mes­o­po­ta­mi­ans grew in­creas­ingly mil­i­tary in char­ac­ter and be­came more akin to ac­tual con­quests.

78:4.6These And­ites were ad­ven­tur­ous; they had rov­ing dis­po­si­tions. An in­crease of ei­ther San­gik or An­don­ite stock tended to sta­bi­lize them. But even so, their later de­scen­dants never stopped un­til they had cir­cum­nav­i­gated the globe and dis­cov­ered the last re­mote con­ti­nent.
