First of all the author of this article is white. So white that albinos feel tan in comparison. Not quite as white as the young man who portrayed 'Powder', but white enough so that the light gold eyebrows and facial hair are invisible, providing no contrast at a distance. The perfect opposite would be the darkest almost blue black African with black hair.


The Evolution of White Peoples.

The homonids known as the modern humans began their journey north a number of different times. There was no mass migration but a great number of small independent journies that most often ended in death. For those who survived there was an overwhelming tendency toward an isolated in-breeding that magnified certain maladies while allowing for the fittest to breed a new generation.

The number of generations was over a million for some and as little as a quarter million generations for other tribes. The wide range of these isolated people who immigrated north span a range of time from half a million years to as little as 70,000 years. Basicly there was not one dispersal of people who vetured north but countless journies that became slightly more successful with experience and more refined communication.

The colder climate presented all the obvious deadly challenges of maintaining body heat but the level of diminishing sunshine is the key factor in the loss of pigmentation. Vitiman D production is central to bone formation and requires bright sunshine for vitamin D production. For those with less pigmentation their descendents became more successful in bone production with less light. Still the skeletal structure of these white tribes is markedly less robust than that of their African ancestors.

The European terrain provided more isolated pockets of certain in bred tribes while beyond the Caucasion Mountains the Asiatic plains allowed for more homogeny. The Neaderthalesque tribes could survive more extreme cold while other European tribes did not.
What was lost over hundreds of thousands of years compared to the first Africans who began the trip north was pigmentation.

What was gained was a tradition of warfare between the many isolated, in bred and very different appearing humans from Neanderthal, Cro Magnon and a wide rage of other pockets of tribes that had clung to survival through millenia of cold climates with low light conditions due to eruptions, impacts and massive fires.

Through the multiple generations of fighting it out and breeding it out between different tribes of light skinned people, the resulting white people had learned and inherited a deep seated tendency toward killing based on appearences that were different than the tribe while continuing. The more succesful agrarian societies became, in breeding became less of a genetic problem.

The practice of war is universal among humans but the light skinned races due to terrain and climate may have had a percent or two more practice of hostilities between people who had obvious physical differences. The early wars of the Huns, Monguls, Chinese, Persioans and Indians are legendary. Yet they are a moe homogeneous gene pool to begin with.

While all races developed partly through xenophobic exclusionism and warfare, the white race has a small fraction more experience in these traits. The seeds of destruction for these slightly more racist white tribes is in the acquired stupidity of self agrandizment compared to the thirsty acqusition of new ways of doing things with new materials through the developments made by different races and cultures.

In modern times there are still pockets of these throw backs of the original violent, racist and stupid white tribes. One such pocket is South Carolina. They have a tendency to start wars they can not win, attack people who will eventually vanquish them and yell things like "YOU LIE" at the most intellegent of the human species.

Anthropoligists and archeologists alike need to turn their attention to such pockets of white tribes while they are still in existence.
With policies like not caring for their people with pre existing illness or not educating those with pre existing ignorance, they will not survive much longer. Yet they are a curious window into the past that offers insight into the in bred violent cave dwellers of ice age Europe.
