64:6.102. The or­ange man. The out­stand­ing char­ac­ter­is­tic of this race was their pe­cu­liar urge to build, to build any­thing and ev­ery­thing, even to the pil­ing up of vast mounds of stone just to see which tribe could build the largest mound. Though they were not a pro­gres­sive peo­ple, they prof­ited much from the schools of the Prince and sent del­e­gates there for in­struc­tion.

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.

64:6.12Be­fore the end came, this peo­ple lost much cul­tural and spir­i­tual ground. But there was a great re­vival of higher liv­ing as a re­sult of the wise lead­er­ship of Por­shunta, the mas­ter mind of this un­for­tu­nate race, who min­is­tered to them when their head­quar­ters was at Ar­maged­don some three hun­dred thou­sand years ago.

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.

86:4.6The or­ange race was es­pe­cially given to be­lief in trans­mi­gra­tion and rein­car­na­tion. This idea of rein­car­na­tion orig­i­nated in the ob­ser­vance of hered­i­tary and trait re­sem­blance of off­spring to an­ces­tors. The cus­tom of nam­ing chil­dren af­ter grand­par­ents and other an­ces­tors was due to be­lief in rein­car­na­tion. Some later-day races be­lieved that man died from three to seven times. This be­lief (resid­ual from the teach­ings of Adam about the man­sion worlds), and many other rem­nants of re­vealed re­li­gion, can be found among the oth­er­wise ab­surd doc­trines of twen­ti­eth-cen­tury bar­bar­ians.

• particularly subject to extinction

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.

• absorbed by green race

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.

• as a race 100,000 years ago; or 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.

79:5.8The red and the yel­low races are the only hu­man stocks that ever achieved a high de­gree of civ­i­liza­tion apart from the in­flu­ences of the And­ites. The old­est Amerindian cul­ture was the Ona­mo­na­lon­ton cen­ter in Cal­i­for­nia, but this had long since van­ished by 35,000 B.C. In Mex­ico, Cen­tral Amer­ica, and in the moun­tains of South Amer­ica the later and more en­dur­ing civ­i­liza­tions were founded by a race pre­dom­i­nantly red but con­tain­ing a con­sid­er­able ad­mix­ture of the yel­low, or­ange, and blue.

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.

78:1.97. 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.

79:2.2The 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.

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.

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.

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.
