Development of Modern Civilization

81:4.1As con­tact is made with the dawn of his­toric times, all of Eura­sia, north­ern Africa, and the Pa­cific Is­lands is over­spread with the com­pos­ite races of man­kind. And these races of to­day have re­sulted from a blend­ing and re­blend­ing of the five ba­sic hu­man stocks of Uran­tia.

81:4.2Each of the Uran­tia races was iden­ti­fied by cer­tain dis­tin­guish­ing phys­i­cal char­ac­ter­is­tics. The Adamites and Nod­ites were long-headed; the An­don­ites were broad-headed. The San­gik races were medium-headed, with the yel­low and blue men tend­ing to broad-head­ed­ness. The blue races, when mixed with the An­don­ite stock, were de­cid­edly broad-headed. The sec­ondary San­giks were medium- to long-headed.

81:4.3Al­though these skull di­men­sions are ser­vice­able in de­ci­pher­ing racial ori­gins, the skele­ton as a whole is far more de­pend­able. In the early de­vel­op­ment of the Uran­tia races there were orig­i­nally five dis­tinct types of skele­tal struc­ture:

81:4.41. An­donic, Uran­tia abo­rig­ines.

81:4.52. Pri­mary San­gik, red, yel­low, and blue.

81:4.63. Sec­ondary San­gik, or­ange, green, and in­digo.

81:4.74. Nod­ites, de­scen­dants of the Dala­ma­tians.

81:4.85. Adamites, the vi­o­let race.

81:4.9As these five great racial groups ex­ten­sively in­ter­min­gled, con­tin­ual mix­ture tended to ob­scure the An­donite type by San­gik hered­i­tary dom­i­nance. The Lapps and the Es­ki­mos are blends of An­donite and San­gik-blue races. Their skele­tal struc­tures come the near­est to pre­serv­ing the abo­rig­i­nal An­donic type. But the Adamites and the Nod­ites have be­come so ad­mixed with the other races that they can be de­tected only as a gen­er­al­ized Cau­ca­soid or­der.

81:4.10In gen­eral, there­fore, as the hu­man re­mains of the last twenty thou­sand years are un­earthed, it will be im­pos­si­ble clearly to dis­tin­guish the five orig­i­nal types. Study of such skele­tal struc­tures will dis­close that man­kind is now di­vided into ap­prox­i­mately three classes:

81:4.111. The Cau­ca­soid—the And­ite blend of the Nod­ite and Adamic stocks, fur­ther mod­i­fied by pri­mary and (some) sec­ondary San­gik ad­mix­ture and by con­sid­er­able An­donic cross­ing. The Oc­ci­den­tal white races, to­gether with some In­dian and Tu­ra­nian peo­ples, are in­cluded in this group. The uni­fy­ing fac­tor in this di­vi­sion is the greater or lesser pro­por­tion of And­ite in­her­i­tance.

81:4.122. The Mon­goloid—the pri­mary San­gik type, in­clud­ing the orig­i­nal red, yel­low, and blue races. The Chi­nese and Amerinds be­long to this group. In Eu­rope the Mon­goloid type has been mod­i­fied by sec­ondary San­gik and An­donic mix­ture; still more by And­ite in­fu­sion. The Malayan and other In­done­sian peo­ples are in­cluded in this clas­si­fi­ca­tion, though they con­tain a high per­cent­age of sec­ondary San­gik blood.

81:4.133. The Ne­groid—the sec­ondary San­gik type, which orig­i­nally in­cluded the or­ange, green, and in­digo races. This is the type best il­lus­trated by the Ne­gro, and it will be found through Africa, In­dia, and In­done­sia wher­ever the sec­ondary San­gik races lo­cated.

81:4.14In North China there is a cer­tain blend­ing of Cau­ca­soid and Mon­goloid types; in the Lev­ant the Cau­ca­soid and Ne­groid have in­ter­min­gled; in In­dia, as in South Amer­ica, all three types are rep­re­sented. And the skele­tal char­ac­ter­is­tics of the three sur­viv­ing types still per­sist and help to iden­tify the later an­ces­try of pres­ent-day hu­man races.
