Ave, Chariovalda !<br>
<br>
Yeah I noticed that too about India on the map. They should be caucasian, I don't know why they're under the Mongolian sphere. And you're right that of course there's cross-pollenation among the groups.<br>
<br>
I'll quote the map's caption :<br>
<br>
Quote:</em></strong><hr>Before the advent of advanced transportation and the European settlement of the Americas, people tended to migrate little from the place where they and their ancestors had originated. Races, then, could be characterized by geographic location. Though this is no longer the case, <em>social scientists</em> still use these geographic areas to classify the world’s races. This map shows the general distribution of these five races before the 1400s. <hr><br>
<br>
So apparently this map is valid to social scientists. As for your statement :<br>
<br>
Quote:</em></strong><hr>It's really about colonizing the past for present political objectives<hr><br>
<br>
Amen to that ! I don't like revisionist history one bit.<br>
<br>
Anyway, this is all distracting. My point was Severus was a caucasoid, more specifically, he was probably part Semitic (Punic) and part latin (Italian). So I'll simplify the map to include only Europe, Africa and the Near East.<br>
<br>
Vale !<br>
