And then another point to note is the fact that a language like Finno
Ugric's common ancestor is spoken by people who differ racially between
themselves, as Magyars have a very different appearance to Finns, for
instance. Indo-Europeans also have in their descendancy various racial
types, with the speakers of Persian looking very semitic and the speakers of
Hindi and Urdu being very brown, whereas the speakers of Germanic tended to
be of a blonde cast. This is probably a lot to do with the movements from
the supertribe intermarrying with the tribal substrates they encountered,
such as the Funnel beaker peoples of the Baltic, or the preHittites of
Anatolia. Probably there was a degree of greater diversity of people going
into tribes, probably all colours came out of Babel, but with the darker
ones handling the south better and the lighter ones the north, in their
tribal intermarrying in the tribal phase these differences became more
pronounced.
The eyes of the Mongolians type races are an interesting point, they don't
seem to be needed for any particular climate type, although there is a kind
of Chinese monkey that has chinese looking eyes. (I mean the one that was
taking these baths in that BBC series about monkeys that was released about
a year ago. I don't want to say Chinese people look like monkeys, other than
the fact that they call this their year of the monkey; I think they're a
good looking bunch of people, but it was just odd how 'Chinese' these
monkeys who lived in China looked, so maybe there really is something
environmental over there that calls for that look of the eye. In any event
there are Mongoloid (forgive the term, but I use it for convenience) race
people speaking unrelated language families and there are white caucasians
speaking unrelated language families, so it would seem that the question of
race was settled before the question of language family (which in my theory
equals supertribe). So it would appear that race was already in place prior
to the establishment of supertribes and language families.
But then again, the existence of Mongolic Finno Ugric speakers looks to be
against that, but it could be another migration and substrate intermarriage
question. Certainly the Finno-Ugrics were great migrators, and had a great
niche for survival techniques in the north.
