64:7.4The red men early be­gan to mi­grate to the north­east, on the heels of the re­treat­ing ice, pass­ing around the high­lands of In­dia and oc­cu­py­ing all of north­east­ern Asia. They were closely fol­lowed by the yel­low tribes, who sub­se­quently drove them out of Asia into North Amer­ica.

64:7.5When the rel­a­tively pure-line rem­nants of the red race for­sook Asia, there were eleven tribes, and they num­bered a lit­tle over seven thou­sand men, women, and chil­dren. These tribes were ac­com­pa­nied by three small groups of mixed an­ces­try, the largest of these be­ing a com­bi­na­tion of the or­ange and blue races. These three groups never fully frat­er­nized with the red man and early jour­neyed south­ward to Mex­ico and Cen­tral Amer­ica, where they were later joined by a small group of mixed yel­lows and reds. These peo­ples all in­ter­mar­ried and founded a new and amal­ga­mated race, one which was much less war­like than the pure-line red men. Within five thou­sand years this amal­ga­mated race broke up into three groups, es­tab­lish­ing the civ­i­liza­tions re­spec­tively of Mex­ico, Cen­tral Amer­ica, and South Amer­ica. The South Amer­i­can off­shoot did re­ceive a faint touch of the blood of Adam.

64:7.6To a cer­tain ex­tent the early red and yel­low men min­gled in Asia, and the off­spring of this union jour­neyed on to the east and along the south­ern sea­coast and, even­tu­ally, were driven by the rapidly in­creas­ing yel­low race onto the penin­su­las and near-by is­lands of the sea. They are the pres­ent-day brown men.

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.

64:7.8Since the fifth glacier did not ex­tend so far south in Eu­rope, the way was par­tially open for these San­gik peo­ples to mi­grate to the north­west; and upon the re­treat of the ice the blue men, to­gether with a few other small racial groups, mi­grated west­ward along the old trails of the An­don tribes. They in­vaded Eu­rope in suc­ces­sive waves, oc­cu­py­ing most of the con­ti­nent.

64:7.9In Eu­rope they soon en­coun­tered the Ne­an­derthal de­scen­dants of their early and com­mon an­ces­tor, An­don. These older Eu­ro­pean Ne­an­derthalers had been driven south and east by the glacier and thus were in po­si­tion quickly to en­counter and ab­sorb their in­vad­ing cousins of the San­gik tribes.

64:7.10In gen­eral and to start with, the San­gik tribes were more in­tel­li­gent than, and in most ways far su­pe­rior to, the de­te­ri­o­rated de­scen­dants of the early An­donic plains­men; and the min­gling of these San­gik tribes with the Ne­an­derthal peo­ples led to the im­me­di­ate im­prove­ment of the older race. It was this in­fu­sion of San­gik blood, more es­pe­cially that of the blue man, which pro­duced that marked im­prove­ment in the Ne­an­derthal peo­ples ex­hib­ited by the suc­ces­sive waves of in­creas­ingly in­tel­li­gent tribes that swept over Eu­rope from the east.

64:7.11Dur­ing the fol­low­ing in­ter­glacial pe­riod this new Ne­an­derthal race ex­tended from Eng­land to In­dia. The rem­nant of the blue race left in the old Per­sian penin­sula later amal­ga­mated with cer­tain oth­ers, pri­mar­ily the yel­low; and the re­sul­tant blend, sub­se­quently some­what up­stepped by the vi­o­let race of Adam, has per­sisted as the swarthy no­madic tribes of mod­ern Arabs.

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.

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.

81:4.10In 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.

82:6.3Pres­ent-day prej­u­dice against “half-castes,” “hy­brids,” and “mon­grels” arises be­cause mod­ern racial cross­breed­ing is, for the greater part, be­tween the grossly in­fe­rior strains of the races con­cerned. You also get un­sat­is­fac­tory off­spring when the de­gen­er­ate strains of the same race in­ter­marry.

82:6.4If the pres­ent-day races of Uran­tia could be freed from the curse of their low­est strata of de­te­ri­o­rated, an­ti­so­cial, fee­ble-minded, and out­cast spec­i­mens, there would be lit­tle ob­jec­tion to a lim­ited race amal­ga­ma­tion. And if such racial mix­tures could take place be­tween the high­est types of the sev­eral races, still less ob­jec­tion could be of­fered.

82:6.5Hy­bridiza­tion of su­pe­rior and dis­sim­i­lar stocks is the se­cret of the cre­ation of new and more vig­or­ous strains. And this is true of plants, an­i­mals, and the hu­man species. Hy­bridiza­tion aug­ments vigor and in­creases fer­til­ity. Race mix­tures of the av­er­age or su­pe­rior strata of var­i­ous peo­ples greatly in­crease cre­ative po­ten­tial, as is shown in the pres­ent pop­u­la­tion of the United States of North Amer­ica. When such mat­ings take place be­tween the lower or in­fe­rior strata, cre­ativ­ity is di­min­ished, as is shown by the pres­ent-day peo­ples of south­ern In­dia.

82:6.6Race blend­ing greatly con­tributes to the sud­den ap­pear­ance of new char­ac­ter­is­tics, and if such hy­bridiza­tion is the union of su­pe­rior strains, then these new char­ac­ter­is­tics will also be su­pe­rior traits.

82:6.7As long as pres­ent-day races are so over­loaded with in­fe­rior and de­gen­er­ate strains, race in­ter­min­gling on a large scale would be most detri­men­tal, but most of the ob­jec­tions to such ex­per­i­ments rest on so­cial and cul­tural prej­u­dices rather than on bi­o­log­i­cal con­sid­er­a­tions. Even among in­fe­rior stocks, hy­brids of­ten are an im­prove­ment on their an­ces­tors. Hy­bridiza­tion makes for species im­prove­ment be­cause of the role of the dom­i­nant genes. Racial in­ter­mix­ture in­creases the like­li­hood of a larger num­ber of the de­sir­able dom­i­nants be­ing pres­ent in the hy­brid.

82:6.8For the past hun­dred years more racial hy­bridiza­tion has been tak­ing place on Uran­tia than has oc­curred in thou­sands of years. The dan­ger of gross dishar­monies as a re­sult of cross­breed­ing of hu­man stocks has been greatly ex­ag­ger­ated. The chief trou­bles of “half-breeds” are due to so­cial prej­u­dices.

82:6.9The Pit­cairn ex­per­i­ment of blend­ing the white and Poly­ne­sian races turned out fairly well be­cause the white men and the Poly­ne­sian women were of fairly good racial strains. In­ter­breed­ing be­tween the high­est types of the white, red, and yel­low races would im­me­di­ately bring into ex­is­tence many new and bi­o­log­i­cally ef­fec­tive char­ac­ter­is­tics. These three peo­ples be­long to the pri­mary San­gik races. Mix­tures of the white and black races are not so de­sir­able in their im­me­di­ate re­sults, nei­ther are such mu­latto off­spring so ob­jec­tion­able as so­cial and racial prej­u­dice would seek to make them ap­pear. Phys­i­cally, such white-black hy­brids are ex­cel­lent spec­i­mens of hu­man­ity, not­with­stand­ing their slight in­fe­ri­or­ity in some other re­spects.
