Oldest white race

We Never Know

No Slack
Hmm. I didn’t realize there was so much strife and racial problems regarding this topic. That’s sad. No one seems to really know the truth. Does anyone here have any ideas? Some people think it’s Armenians, others think it might be Jewish people or others. Not that I particularly care but it is interesting to think about.

What are your considering white?

Milk white? Pale? Or?

"An analysis of 50,000-year-old Neanderthal DNA suggests that at least some of the ancient hominids probably had pale skin and red hair."



"Neanderthals had a mutation in this receptor gene which changed an amino acid, making the resulting protein less efficient and likely creating a phenotype of red hair and pale skin."

...and battle readiness.

...and hardy enslavement. When you can't get enough vitamin D you are prone to illness, but also you tend to be more depressed. This affects your survival and particularly if you are at the bottom of society. If you're the one that does all the least desirable jobs and are also deficient in vitamin D its a double whammy. Its dark, cold, the work is hard, your depressed and probably sick a lot. Those of you with lighter skin who absorb sunlight better will have a much better chance at high reproduction.

In Denmark there is an ancient tradition of putting babies outside in winter, all bundled up for their naps. Its how they take their naps; and the people swear it makes the babies more healthy. They claim it gives the babies fresh air. That's why they do it, but those babies are also getting sunlight. There are devices for hanging the babies cribs out of windows. In a southern climate this would never be a good idea, but up north it works well. Fresh air exists everywhere, but this practice is limited to northern climes.

I follow a common Scandinavian practice to try and get outside for at least one hour every day regardless of the weather.

There's nothing new about white skin. Our Neanderthal grandparents were white, and the Neanderthal people predate homo-sapiens.

We don't know which color of skin they had because we have no skin samples. They seem to have relied very heavily on hunting and catching fish, and vitamin D is available in fatty fish.

Personally, I eat sardines and other fatty fish a lot because I have a vitamin D deficiency.

Like for instance what made the Jewish people more or less look like they do? Was it breeding amongst fair skinned Arabs? Arabs with Europeans? Blacks with oriental? I know it’s more than just one of these as it happened over lengthy periods but there is an answer. Interesting. I wonder if there is a consensus among top anthropologists. It seems like we could put two and two together. We’re pretty smart. We have eyes. Plus artifacts etc.
It's because Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews are mixed with European ancestry. Many of them are probably descended from converts, to be honest. Those groups have been in Europe for a few thousand years.

"White" is not a race or a scientific category at all, by the way.

Not sure either but all humans share 99.9% of their genetic DNA.
