• green race

64:6.174. The green man. The green race was one of the less able groups of prim­i­tive men, and they were greatly weak­ened by ex­ten­sive mi­gra­tions in dif­fer­ent di­rec­tions. Be­fore their dis­per­sion these tribes ex­pe­ri­enced a great re­vival of cul­ture un­der the lead­er­ship of Fan­tad, some three hun­dred and fifty thou­sand years ago.

64:6.18The green race split into three ma­jor di­vi­sions: The north­ern tribes were sub­dued, en­slaved, and ab­sorbed by the yel­low and blue races. The east­ern group were amal­ga­mated with the In­dian peo­ples of those days, and rem­nants still per­sist among them. The south­ern na­tion en­tered Africa, where they de­stroyed their al­most equally in­fe­rior or­ange cousins.

64:6.19In many ways both groups were evenly matched in this strug­gle since each car­ried strains of the gi­ant or­der, many of their lead­ers be­ing eight and nine feet in height. These gi­ant strains of the green man were mostly con­fined to this south­ern or Egyp­tian na­tion.

64:6.20The rem­nants of the vic­to­ri­ous green men were sub­se­quently ab­sorbed by the in­digo race, the last of the col­ored peo­ples to de­velop and em­i­grate from the orig­i­nal San­gik cen­ter of race dis­per­sion.

64:6.11The or­ange race was the first to fol­low the coast line south­ward to­ward Africa as the Med­i­ter­ra­nean Sea with­drew to the west. But they never se­cured a fa­vor­able foot­ing in Africa and were wiped out of ex­is­tence by the later ar­riv­ing green race.

64:6.13The last great strug­gle be­tween the or­ange and the green men oc­curred in the re­gion of the lower Nile val­ley in Egypt. This long-drawn-out bat­tle was waged for al­most one hun­dred years, and at its close very few of the or­ange race were left alive. The shat­tered rem­nants of these peo­ple were ab­sorbed by the green and by the later ar­riv­ing in­digo men. But as a race the or­ange man ceased to ex­ist about one hun­dred thou­sand years ago.

64:7.14The last of the San­gik peo­ples to mi­grate from their cen­ter of race ori­gin was the in­digo man. About the time the green man was killing off the or­ange race in Egypt and greatly weak­en­ing him­self in so do­ing, the great black ex­o­dus started south through Pales­tine along the coast; and later, when these phys­i­cally strong in­digo peo­ples over­ran Egypt, they wiped the green man out of ex­is­tence by sheer force of num­bers. These in­digo races ab­sorbed the rem­nants of the or­ange man and much of the stock of the green man, and cer­tain of the in­digo tribes were con­sid­er­ably im­proved by this racial amal­ga­ma­tion.

64:7.16As the San­gik mi­gra­tions draw to a close, the green and or­ange races are gone, the red man holds North Amer­ica, the yel­low man east­ern Asia, the blue man Eu­rope, and the in­digo race has grav­i­tated to Africa. In­dia har­bors a blend of the sec­ondary San­gik races, and the brown man, a blend of the red and yel­low, holds the is­lands off the Asi­atic coast. An amal­ga­mated race of rather su­pe­rior po­ten­tial oc­cu­pies the high­lands of South Amer­ica. The purer An­don­ites live in the ex­treme north­ern re­gions of Eu­rope and in Ice­land, Green­land, and north­east­ern North Amer­ica.

• enslaved and absorbed by yellow, blue, and indigo races

51:4.6The more back­ward hu­mans are usu­ally em­ployed as la­bor­ers by the more pro­gres­sive races. This ac­counts for the ori­gin of slav­ery on the plan­ets dur­ing the early ages. The or­ange men are usu­ally sub­dued by the red and re­duced to the sta­tus of ser­vants—some­times ex­ter­mi­nated. The yel­low and red men of­ten frat­er­nize, but not al­ways. The yel­low race usu­ally en­slaves the green, while the blue man sub­dues the in­digo. These races of prim­i­tive men think no more of uti­liz­ing the ser­vices of their back­ward fel­lows in com­pul­sory la­bor than Uran­tians would of buy­ing and sell­ing horses and cat­tle.

• race is particularly subject to destruction

52:2.5But the Plan­e­tary Prince is not “the Prince of Peace.” Racial strug­gles and tribal wars con­tinue over into this dis­pen­sa­tion but with di­min­ish­ing fre­quency and sever­ity. This is the great age of racial dis­per­sion, and it cul­mi­nates in a pe­riod of in­tense na­tion­al­ism. Color is the ba­sis of tribal and na­tional group­ings, and the dif­fer­ent races of­ten de­velop sep­a­rate lan­guages. Each ex­pand­ing group of mor­tals tends to seek iso­la­tion. This seg­re­ga­tion is fa­vored by the ex­is­tence of many lan­guages. Be­fore the uni­fi­ca­tion of the sev­eral races their re­lent­less war­fare some­times re­sults in the oblit­er­a­tion of whole peo­ples; the or­ange and green men are par­tic­u­larly sub­ject to such ex­tinc­tion.

• virtually destroyed themselves by war

64:7.7The yel­low race has con­tin­ued to oc­cupy the cen­tral re­gions of east­ern Asia. Of all the six col­ored races they have sur­vived in great­est num­bers. While the yel­low men now and then en­gaged in racial war, they did not carry on such in­ces­sant and re­lent­less wars of ex­ter­mi­na­tion as were waged by the red, green, and or­ange men. These three races vir­tu­ally de­stroyed them­selves be­fore they were fi­nally all but an­ni­hi­lated by their en­e­mies of other races.

• by 15,000 B.C.

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.

45:4.97. Fan­tad, the de­liv­erer of the green men from dark­ness and their leader in the wor­ship of “The One Source of Life.”

79:2.2The ear­li­est race mix­tures in In­dia were a blend­ing of the mi­grat­ing red and yel­low races with the abo­rig­i­nal An­don­ites. This group was later weak­ened by ab­sorb­ing the greater por­tion of the ex­tinct east­ern green peo­ples as well as large num­bers of the or­ange race, was slightly im­proved through lim­ited ad­mix­ture with the blue man, but suf­fered ex­ceed­ingly through as­sim­i­la­tion of large num­bers of the in­digo race. But the so-called abo­rig­ines of In­dia are hardly rep­re­sen­ta­tive of these early peo­ple; they are rather the most in­fe­rior south­ern and east­ern fringe, which was never fully ab­sorbed by ei­ther the early And­ites or their later ap­pear­ing Aryan cousins.

78:1.108. The Sa­hara civ­i­liza­tion. The su­pe­rior el­e­ments of the in­digo race had their most pro­gres­sive set­tle­ments in what is now the great Sa­hara desert. This in­digo-black group car­ried ex­ten­sive strains of the sub­merged or­ange and green races.

80:1.4But dur­ing ear­lier times there was lit­tle to hin­der the west­ward mi­gra­tion of the Adamites. The Sa­hara was an open graz­ing land over­spread by herders and agri­cul­tur­ists. These Sa­ha­rans never en­gaged in man­u­fac­ture, nor were they city builders. They were an in­digo-black group which car­ried ex­ten­sive strains of the ex­tinct green and or­ange races. But they re­ceived a very lim­ited amount of the vi­o­let in­her­i­tance be­fore the up­thrust of land and the shift­ing wa­ter-laden winds dis­persed the rem­nants of this pros­per­ous and peace­ful civ­i­liza­tion.

78:1.97. Pre-Dra­vid­ian In­dia. The com­plex mix­ture of races in In­dia—em­brac­ing ev­ery race on earth, but es­pe­cially the green, or­ange, and black—main­tained a cul­ture slightly above that of the out­ly­ing re­gions.

79:6.2In Burma and the penin­sula of Indo-China the cul­tures of In­dia and China mixed and blended to pro­duce the suc­ces­sive civ­i­liza­tions of those re­gions. Here the van­ished green race has per­sisted in larger pro­por­tion than any­where else in the world.

79:6.3Many dif­fer­ent races oc­cu­pied the is­lands of the Pa­cific. In gen­eral, the south­ern and then more ex­ten­sive is­lands were oc­cu­pied by peo­ples car­ry­ing a heavy per­cent­age of green and in­digo blood. The north­ern is­lands were held by An­don­ites and, later on, by races em­brac­ing large pro­por­tions of the yel­low and red stocks. The an­ces­tors of the Japanese peo­ple were not driven off the main­land un­til 12,000 B.C., when they were dis­lodged by a pow­er­ful south­ern-coast­wise thrust of the north­ern Chi­nese tribes. Their fi­nal ex­o­dus was not so much due to pop­u­la­tion pres­sure as to the ini­tia­tive of a chief­tain whom they came to re­gard as a di­vine per­son­age.

79:6.71. Ge­netic. Un­like their blue cousins in Eu­rope, both the red and yel­low races had largely es­caped mix­ture with de­based hu­man stocks. The north­ern Chi­nese, al­ready strength­ened by small amounts of the su­pe­rior red and An­donic strains, were soon to ben­e­fit by a con­sid­er­able in­flux of And­ite blood. The south­ern Chi­nese did not fare so well in this re­gard, and they had long suf­fered from ab­sorp­tion of the green race, while later on they were to be fur­ther weak­ened by the in­fil­tra­tion of the swarms of in­fe­rior peo­ples crowded out of In­dia by the Dra­vid­ian-And­ite in­va­sion. And to­day in China there is a def­i­nite dif­fer­ence be­tween the north­ern and south­ern races.

51:4.2The ear­lier races are some­what su­pe­rior to the later; the red man stands far above the in­digo—black—race. The Life Car­ri­ers im­part the full be­stowal of the liv­ing en­er­gies to the ini­tial or red race, and each suc­ceed­ing evo­lu­tion­ary man­i­fes­ta­tion of a dis­tinct group of mor­tals rep­re­sents vari­a­tion at the ex­pense of the orig­i­nal en­dow­ment. Even mor­tal stature tends to de­crease from the red man down to the in­digo race, al­though on Uran­tia un­ex­pected strains of gi­antism ap­peared among the green and or­ange peo­ples.
