Sangiks

89:5.3Can­ni­bal­ism was once well-nigh uni­ver­sal among the evolv­ing races. The San­giks were all can­ni­bal­is­tic, but orig­i­nally the An­don­ites were not, nor were the Nod­ites and Adamites; nei­ther were the And­ites un­til af­ter they had be­come grossly ad­mixed with the evo­lu­tion­ary races.

70:1.2War is an an­i­mal­is­tic re­ac­tion to mis­un­der­stand­ings and ir­ri­ta­tions; peace at­tends upon the civ­i­lized so­lu­tion of all such prob­lems and dif­fi­cul­ties. The San­gik races, to­gether with the later de­te­ri­o­rated Adamites and Nod­ites, were all bel­liger­ent. The An­don­ites were early taught the golden rule, and, even to­day, their Es­kimo de­scen­dants live very much by that code; cus­tom is strong among them, and they are fairly free from vi­o­lent an­tag­o­nisms.

67:5.5When the first cap­i­tal of the world was en­gulfed, it har­bored only the low­est types of the San­gik races of Uran­tia, rene­gades who had al­ready con­verted the Fa­ther’s tem­ple into a shrine ded­i­cated to Nog, the false god of light and fire.

64:7.12All ef­forts to iden­tify the San­gik an­ces­try of mod­ern peo­ples must take into ac­count the later im­prove­ment of the racial strains by the sub­se­quent ad­mix­ture of Adamic blood.

69:2.6The San­gik tribes were fairly in­dus­tri­ous when re­sid­ing away from the trop­ics. But there was a long, long strug­gle be­tween the lazy devo­tees of magic and the apos­tles of work—those who ex­er­cised fore­sight.

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.

79:0.1Asia is the home­land of the hu­man race. It was on a south­ern penin­sula of this con­ti­nent that An­don and Fonta were born; in the high­lands of what is now Afghanistan, their de­scen­dant Bado­nan founded a prim­i­tive cen­ter of cul­ture that per­sisted for over one-half mil­lion years. Here at this east­ern fo­cus of the hu­man race the San­gik peo­ples dif­fer­en­ti­ated from the An­donic stock, and Asia was their first home, their first hunt­ing ground, their first bat­tle­field. South­west­ern Asia wit­nessed the suc­ces­sive civ­i­liza­tions of Dala­ma­tians, Nod­ites, Adamites, and And­ites, and from these re­gions the po­ten­tials of mod­ern civ­i­liza­tion spread to the world.

79:2.1In­dia is the only lo­cal­ity where all the Uran­tia races were blended, the And­ite in­va­sion adding the last stock. In the high­lands north­west of In­dia the San­gik races came into ex­is­tence, and with­out ex­cep­tion mem­bers of each pen­e­trated the sub­con­ti­nent of In­dia in their early days, leav­ing be­hind them the most het­ero­ge­neous race mix­ture ever to ex­ist on Uran­tia. An­cient In­dia acted as a catch basin for the mi­grat­ing races. The base of the penin­sula was for­merly some­what nar­rower than now, much of the deltas of the Ganges and In­dus be­ing the work of the last fifty thou­sand years.

• avoided tropics
• superior races; red, yellow, and blue

64:7.3Be­tween the times of the Plan­e­tary Prince and Adam, In­dia be­came the home of the most cos­mopoli­tan pop­u­la­tion ever to be found on the face of the earth. But it was un­for­tu­nate that this mix­ture came to con­tain so much of the green, or­ange, and in­digo races. These sec­ondary San­gik peo­ples found ex­is­tence more easy and agree­able in the south­lands, and many of them sub­se­quently mi­grated to Africa. The pri­mary San­gik peo­ples, the su­pe­rior races, avoided the trop­ics, the red man go­ing north­east to Asia, closely fol­lowed by the yel­low man, while the blue race moved north­west into Eu­rope.

• superior races; red, yellow, and blue

79:5.1While the story of In­dia is that of And­ite con­quest and even­tual sub­mer­gence in the older evo­lu­tion­ary peo­ples, the nar­ra­tive of east­ern Asia is more prop­erly that of the pri­mary San­giks, par­tic­u­larly the red man and the yel­low man. These two races largely es­caped that ad­mix­ture with the de­based Ne­an­derthal strain which so greatly re­tarded the blue man in Eu­rope, thus pre­serv­ing the su­pe­rior po­ten­tial of the pri­mary San­gik type.

• medium- to broad-headed

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:

• many migrated to India, Africa

79:2.3By 20,000 B.C. the pop­u­la­tion of west­ern In­dia had al­ready be­come tinged with the Adamic blood, and never in the his­tory of Uran­tia did any one peo­ple com­bine so many dif­fer­ent races. But it was un­for­tu­nate that the sec­ondary San­gik strains pre­dom­i­nated, and it was a real calamity that both the blue and the red man were so largely miss­ing from this racial melt­ing pot of long ago; more of the pri­mary San­gik strains would have con­tributed very much to­ward the en­hance­ment of what might have been an even greater civ­i­liza­tion. As it de­vel­oped, the red man was de­stroy­ing him­self in the Amer­i­cas, the blue man was dis­port­ing him­self in Eu­rope, and the early de­scen­dants of Adam (and most of the later ones) ex­hib­ited lit­tle de­sire to ad­mix with the darker col­ored peo­ples, whether in In­dia, Africa, or else­where.

• substratum represents kinship of many modern peoples

80:2.3It is this sec­ondary San­gik sub­stra­tum that sug­gests a cer­tain de­gree of kin­ship among the mod­ern peo­ples scat­tered from the Dec­can through Iran, Mes­o­po­ta­mia, and along both shores of the Med­i­ter­ra­nean Sea.

• referred to as Negroid

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.

• many desirable traits to enhance primary races

82:6.2Of the six col­ored San­gik races, three were pri­mary and three were sec­ondary. Though the pri­mary races—blue, red, and yel­low—were in many re­spects su­pe­rior to the three sec­ondary peo­ples, it should be re­mem­bered that these sec­ondary races had many de­sir­able traits which would have con­sid­er­ably en­hanced the pri­mary peo­ples if their bet­ter strains could have been ab­sorbed.

• biologically considered, in some respects superior to primary

82:6.10When a pri­mary San­gik race amal­ga­mates with a sec­ondary San­gik race, the lat­ter is con­sid­er­ably im­proved at the ex­pense of the for­mer. And on a small scale—ex­tend­ing over long pe­ri­ods of time—there can be lit­tle se­ri­ous ob­jec­tion to such a sac­ri­fi­cial con­tri­bu­tion by the pri­mary races to the bet­ter­ment of the sec­ondary groups. Bi­o­log­i­cally con­sid­ered, the sec­ondary San­giks were in some re­spects su­pe­rior to the pri­mary races.
