Andite Expansion in the Occident

80:4.1While the And­ites poured into Eu­rope in a steady stream, there were seven ma­jor in­va­sions, the last ar­rivals com­ing on horse­back in three great waves. Some en­tered Eu­rope by way of the is­lands of the Aegean and up the Danube val­ley, but the ma­jor­ity of the ear­lier and purer strains mi­grated to north­west­ern Eu­rope by the north­ern route across the graz­ing lands of the Volga and the Don.

80:4.2Be­tween the third and fourth in­va­sions a horde of An­don­ites en­tered Eu­rope from the north, hav­ing come from Siberia by way of the Rus­sian rivers and the Baltic. They were im­me­di­ately as­sim­i­lated by the north­ern And­ite tribes.

80:4.3The ear­lier ex­pan­sions of the purer vi­o­let race were far more pa­cific than were those of their later semimil­i­tary and con­quest-lov­ing And­ite de­scen­dants. The Adamites were pa­cific; the Nod­ites were bel­liger­ent. The union of these stocks, as later min­gled with the San­gik races, pro­duced the able, ag­gres­sive And­ites who made ac­tual mil­i­tary con­quests.

80:4.4But the horse was the evo­lu­tion­ary fac­tor which de­ter­mined the dom­i­nance of the And­ites in the Oc­ci­dent. The horse gave the dis­pers­ing And­ites the hith­erto nonex­is­tent ad­van­tage of mo­bil­ity, en­abling the last groups of And­ite cav­al­ry­men to pro­gress quickly around the Caspian Sea to over­run all of Eu­rope. All pre­vi­ous waves of And­ites had moved so slowly that they tended to dis­in­te­grate at any great dis­tance from Mes­o­po­ta­mia. But these later waves moved so rapidly that they reached Eu­rope as co­her­ent groups, still re­tain­ing some mea­sure of higher cul­ture.

80:4.5The whole in­hab­ited world, out­side of China and the Eu­phrates re­gion, had made very lim­ited cul­tural prog­ress for ten thou­sand years when the hard-rid­ing And­ite horse­men made their ap­pear­ance in the sixth and sev­enth mil­len­ni­ums be­fore Christ. As they moved west­ward across the Rus­sian plains, ab­sorb­ing the best of the blue man and ex­ter­mi­nat­ing the worst, they be­came blended into one peo­ple. These were the an­ces­tors of the so-called Nordic races, the fore­fa­thers of the Scan­di­na­vian, Ger­man, and An­glo-Saxon peo­ples.

80:4.6It was not long be­fore the su­pe­rior blue strains had been fully ab­sorbed by the And­ites through­out all north­ern Eu­rope. Only in La­p­land (and to a cer­tain ex­tent in Brit­tany) did the older An­don­ites re­tain even a sem­blance of iden­tity.
