We hear a lot about African roots so I thought it might be interesting to examine the beginning of the Caucasian peoples. History and anthropology are two hobbies of mine, but I am no expert so I would appreciate contributions from other posters. The word Caucasian is a misnomer; it was once thought the long-nosed hairy people of the north originated in the caucus mountains; we later learned that was incorrect, but the name stuck.
When the Africans migrated out of Africa forty, fifty or sixty thousand years ago and moved across southern Eurasia they left a thinly populated belt of Negroid people in the warm regions of Southwest Asia. Some of these people moved up into the mountain regions of Central Asia. In that region the sun light was weaker and the cold weather required the wearing of clothes to survive. The wearing of clothing reduced the amount of sunlight reaching the skin which in turn reduced the amount of vitamin D produced by the body. That resulted in weaker bones and a reduced provability of survival. You might ask how it is I can extrapolate that the African that came out of Africa were naked: Well the end of the line for this migration was Australia. When the Europeans first met the aborigines they found an isolated people that wore no cloths and apparently had no shame of nudity.
The black peoples that tried to live in the north slowly became Caucasian or Mongoliod; we can’t be sure of which, but I will say Caucasian because of the two races that occupied Eurasia they spread over the largest areas where as the Mongol like people where restricted to land east of the high mountains. When the Caucasians moved onto the Eurasian steppes is when we really started to blossom as a people and became the most diverse race on earth.
