A thread on races:
The most fundamental genetic divide within Humanity is between Eurasians and (Sub-Saharan) Africans. If we were to divide humanity into only two races, this is how it would work.
The most fundamental genetic divide within Humanity is between Eurasians and (Sub-Saharan) Africans. If we were to divide humanity into only two races, this is how it would work.
If we were to divide humanity into three major racial groups, it will be into Caucasians, Africans and Asians, this is how the genetic split would look.
In a division into 4 groups, Amerindian (‘Native Americans’) split off from East Asians into their own category. Note their Asiatic appearance. Alt-Hype once called them ‘Siberian Americans.’
At the 5th division level, we discover a division in the Sub-Saharan African populations into an east(capoids) and west(congoid).
In the 6th division, Australoids (Australo-Melanesians or Oceanians) appear as a distinct group, splitting off from East Asians.
In the 7th division, Siberians appear as a distinct group, splitting off from East Asians. Siberia is a relatively ethnically mixed region, even at this level of analysis, having ancestry from Mongoloids, Caucasoids, Amerindians, and their own unique Siberian ancestors.
In the 8th division, South East Asians (‘Asiabid,’ Indians, etc.) appear as a distinct group. Note that the ancestry components that were previously lumped in with Caucasoids (blue) and Australoids (purple) are now almost entirely Southeast Asian (green).
In the 9th division, The Caucasoid component roughly splits into European(Nordid) and Middle-Eastern-North-African(Urimid). Urimid, taken from ‘Ur’ of the Sumerians, is in reference to the fact that this ‘Med’ ancestral component originated in and around the fertile crescent.
In the 10th division, increased diversity in Africa. Hadza, a very small population of hunter-gatherers (under 1500 people), splits into a distinct group.
In the 11th division, Onge people become distinct from the South East Asian population. As you can see, they’re quite different from other South East Asians, e.g. Indians:
In the 12th division, Amerindians split into North and South populations.
In the 13th division, Pygmies split from other Sub-Saharan African populations.
In the 14th division, Eskimos(Inuits, Chukchi, etc.,) split from the wider ‘Siberian’ population. Below: Nganasan vs Inuit. Note that the Inuits, who live in Northern Canada, have a more Amerindian appearance.
15th division, Central South Asian ancestry(Elamid) that was previously concealed within Caucasoid populations is now visible. S.E Asian is now divided into C.S Asian and S. E. Asian (Dravidian). This split could also be described as Iranian vs Indian.
16th division, Nilotic African population is visible. Nilotic people are renowned for being extremely tall; the worlds’ second tallest ethnic group, behind the Dutch.
In the 17th division, Southern Amerindian population splits into Amazid / Andesid, or ‘Amazonians’ (right) and ‘Other Southern Amerindians’ (left).
In the 18th division, Ju’Hoansi people split from wider Capoid population.
In the 19th division, An extra ancestry component, ‘Semid’ (Arab), within the Caucasoid race shifts things around. This indicates that Arabs are a distinct group from other Mediterraneans and demonstrates that the Middle East and North Africa is a very racially mixed area.
20th division, The Kalash of Afghanistan appear as a distinct group. They’re sometimes referred to as “Nordic-Iranian" and are descended from the ancient Andronovo-type (Proto- and early Indo-Iranian) peoples of the region, who were genetically near-identical to modern Russians.
