Why mestizos are often beautiful. Every fifth person is mestizo

    Since ancient times, people born from interracial marriages have been called mulattos, mestizos, creoles, in addition, there are many other names.

    INTERRACIAL FAMILY: DAD, MOM, DAUGHTER

    Children from the marriage of representatives of the Caucasian and Negroid races were called mulattoes(mulato). Some scholars believe that this name comes from the distorted Arabic word muwallad, which was used to refer to unpurebred Arabs; others tend to see the origins of the name in the Spanish word mulo (a mule is a cross between a donkey and a mare, as well as any other hybrids).

    Directly mulattoes are often called only those who have half the blood of a Negro.

    BARACK OBAMA

    The current head of the White House, Barack Obama, is a mulatto, he is the son of a Kenyan and a white American.

    Those with one-quarter Negro blood were called quadroons, and 1/8 of the Negroids were called octorons.

    ALEXANDER DUMA SENIOR

    Alexandre Dumas Sr. is the most famous quadroon in Russia and the post-Soviet countries: he is the grandson of a French general and a black woman.

    It is noteworthy that there were many local names, for example, Jamaican mulattoes, who are 1/8 of the blacks, were called musti, and 1/16 mustafino; in Haiti, half Negroes were called mulatres, having 1/8 of the Negroid blood by mustiffs, people with 3/4 of such blood by vultures, and with 7/8 by marabou.

    Mulattoes today are a huge part of the population of Latin America, there are a lot of them in the Dominican Republic, Cuba and Brazil, as well as in African countries such as Namibia and South Africa.

    Born from interracial marriages, including mulattoes, in the modern world are often called mestizos. The name comes from the French word mtis, which goes back to the Latin misticius, misceo mixed, I mix). But here Mestizos in America these are only the descendants of marriages between Caucasians and Indians, and in Central Asia so called Mongoloids and Europeans born as a result of marriages, in Brazil or from the marriages of the Portuguese with the Indians stupid mestizos were born, who were locally called mamelukes.

    Another interesting word found Sakhalyar. So, it turns out, they call those born from mixed marriages Yakuts and Whites. The Sakhalyar was Lyubim Dezhnv, the son of Semna Dezhnva, a famous Russian pioneer who was married to Abakayada Syuchyu, a Yakut.

    MONUMENT TO THE FAMILY OF THE DEZHNVI

    This monument to Semnu Dezhnv and his family, recently erected in Yakutsk, is called by the inhabitants of the city, not without humor, a monument to the first Sakhalyar.

    Creoles these are those who descended from the marriages of Indians with

    a) Spaniards

    b) the Portuguese;

    b) the French;

    c) Russians

    as well as from marriages of Russians with Aleuts or Eskimos (in Siberia and Alaska).

    Creoles of Haiti

    By the way, with the advent of Negroes on the American continent, family ties between Indians and Negroes became not uncommon. Children born in such families were called sambo. Such an Afro-Indian origin, for example, was the President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, who died last year (Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias).

    HUGO CHAVEZ

    And one more thing: it is natural that with the advent of children from mixed marriages of representatives of two different races, the number of marriages between, for example, those born in such families began to grow, which led to the appearance of descendants of three races: white, black and the so-called Americanoid, common in America as in North and South. Such mestizos are called melange.

    This is an English term of French origin: in French, mlange mixture. There are about 200 different cultural groups of Melagens. In the mid-1990s, there was a particular interest in these groups in the United States in connection with the appearance of the books by Bill Bryson The Lost Continent and Brent Kennedy Melangen: The Resurrection of Proud Men.

    Nowadays, the word METIS often serves to refer to those born from any mixed unions of people and even, ironically, puppy and kittens from various breeds of these representatives of the animal world.

    I also note that confusion often occurs: the semantics (meaning) of the word METIS is equated with the semantics of the word MULAT and vice versa. Reason: They don't see any difference in their meanings. But, reading the fiction works of G. Beecher Stowe, you can learn a lot from this area, for example, that these words designate the descendants of various mixed interracial unions.

    Mestizos are born from unions of Caucasians with Indians.

    Mulattos are also from mixed unions, but Caucasians with Negroids.

    But the Creoles are:

    The differences are significant. A mulatto is born from a Negro and a white, or a white man and a black woman.

    Metis, this is a person born from red (Indian) and white, or vice versa. Creole is also an interracial mixture, for example, a Spaniard and an Indian woman (in the sense of a turkey, an Indian, so it's clearer).

    Children born in such marriages are smarter than children born not in funny families (proven fact).

    Creoles are called children of Europeans (often Spaniards) who were born in America from an alliance with local peoples or Negroids brought there. Mestizos are Caucasians with a mixture of yellow or red race. Mulattos are born from contacts between Africans and Caucasians.

    Mulatto guy

    These words are now firmly established in the Russian lexicon. Mestizos are called children born in mixed marriage, that is, if the parents are representatives of different peoples and nationalities. For example, Russian and Korean. The mulatto is a cross between the Negroid race and the Caucasoid. Creole has several meanings - the descendants of Jews who moved to North and South Korea. In Brazil and the West Indies, Negro slaves are called Creoles. In Alaska, Creoles used to be called children from Russians and Aleuts.

    MULAT is a person who is born from the marriage of a Caucasian man and a Negro.

    Creole is a descendant of immigrants from Europe, in particular in France, Spain and Portugal to the territory of North and South America. It is also a person who is born in a marriage with a European and an Indian.

    METIS is a descendant of mixed marriages, for example, from an Indian with a Negro, from a Mongoloid and a Caucasian. There are a lot of mestizos in South America, as well as in Central Asia.

    Famous mulattoes are Barack Obama, Jay-Z and his wife Beyoncé. Creoles are Hugo Chavez, Nicole Scherzinger, Keanu Reeves, mestizos are Adriana Lima, Shakira.

    All of them differ in origin.

    Mulattos these are people who appear in mixed marriages from representatives of the Caucasian and Negroid races. There are two versions of the origin of the word mulato: from Arabic muvallad - unpurebred Arab; from the Spanish mulo mule, as it used to designate not only the offspring of a donkey and a mare, but also the rest of the hybrid offspring.

    Metis(from Latin misceo I mix) these are descendants from different interracial marriages, for example, Caucasians and Indians, Mongoloids and Caucasians, etc.

    Creole(from French crole; Latin creare - to create, nurture) the word in different cultures has different meanings. So, in Brazil and the West Indies, the descendants of Negro slaves are called so. In North and South America, Creoles are the descendants of European (Spanish, Portuguese, French) settlers. And in Alaska, creoles used to be called descendants from mixed marriages of Russians with local tribes (Aleuts, Eskimos or Indians).

    The universal mixing of blood occurred in Latin America. On the face of it, everything is confusing and incomprehensible. But this is not for a dedicated person, that is, one who does not live there (such as at night all cats are gray or all Chinese look the same for a white one and vice versa).

    It is worth clarifying for Creoles. In Latin America, these are called purebred descendants of the Spaniards.

    mulattos called those people who were born from mixed marriages. Usually these people are born from a mixture of the Negroid race and the Caucasian race.

    Metis they call such people who are born from interracial marriages. It turns out these people are a mixture of two races.

    Creoles call those people who were born from the descendants of European immigrants living in the United States.

    Mulatto is a mixture of white and black. Metis is a mixture of white with red or yellow. Creole-Spanish, born in America.

    The fact is that Creoles, mestizos and mulattos can have very different appearances. Here is a good definition for three concepts that I got in the reference book:

    That is, Creole is a narrow variety of mestizo. A mestizo are children from interracial marriages in general. Mulattos - children from the marriage of blacks and whites.

Mestizos and mulattos - this is the name of the descendants from interracial marriages. What is the difference between mestizo and mulatto? A mulatto is a person whose parents belong to the Caucasoid and Negroid races, and a mestizo is a descendant of the marriage of representatives of Caucasoids and Mongoloids (in a broad, racial sense). Let us consider in more detail the origin, evolution and current state of these terms.

Where did mulattoes come from

There is no doubt that interracial interbreeding has existed for a long time, but it is also certain that it has never before been widespread. The situation changed with the onset of the Age of Discovery, which began with the voyage of Columbus in 1492. The term "mulatto" was first recorded in Spanish documents of the 16th century, although its origin is unclear. According to one version, this is a distorted Arabic word "mullavad", adopted to refer to half-breed Arabs, according to another (more likely) - a distortion of the Spanish word mulo, which denoted any hybrids obtained as a result of crossing (hence the "mule" - a descendant of a donkey and mares).

The Spaniards, and after them other colonialists, began to massively import Negro slaves to the New World to work on plantations, and the proud Spanish hidalgos did not hesitate to make contact with the slaves. Or ordinary soldiers and the poor, due to the lack of European women, married - officially or unofficially - black ladies. In this regard, the genealogy of the great French novelist Alexandre Dumas is interesting: his grandmother was a purebred black woman from the West Indies, and his grandfather was a French slave-owning planter. As a result of their union, a mulatto appeared with the long name Thomas-Alexandre Dumas Davi de la Pailletri.

When Thomas-Alexander grew up, he became a general in the Napoleonic army and participated in the African campaign of Bonaparte. And there was no talk about the origin, neither among the relatives of his wife, nor among colleagues. According to contemporaries, the Romance-speaking Catholic peoples - the French, Spaniards, Portuguese - had almost no racial prejudice and often officially married black slaves, in contrast to the Protestants - the British and Americans. It is not clear why this happened, but it is a fact; perhaps the whole point is in the differences between the Protestant ethics and the Catholic one. Well, having dealt with this issue, we will find out what is the difference between a mestizo and a mulatto.

Now about mestizos

The term "mestizo" comes from the Latin miscio, which means "to mix". This term is commonly used to refer to the descendants of Caucasoids and Mongoloids. Including children of Europeans and American Indians. The question is in terminology: some scientists consider the Indians a branch on the tree of the Mongoloid race, others - an independent large race. Mass mixing of white people and Mongoloids also began with the era of the great geographical discoveries.

And it's not just the discovery of America. Vasco da Gama in 1498 finds a sea route to India, and detachments of European conquerors flood the Asian expanses, which leads (as in America) to a large number of mixed marriages. In fairness, it should be noted that the miscegenation of the Caucasoid and Mongoloid population of Eurasia was observed before, but its scale was small. This was facilitated by contacts with nomads during the Great Migration of Nations. At the beginning of our era - during the invasion of the Huns in the Western Roman Empire. And later, contacts intensified as a result of wars and alliances of Russian principalities with nomadic Turks and the Western campaign of Batu in the 40s of the 13th century.

Comparison

In former times, contacts between people living in different parts of the planet were difficult, so the mixing of different races was the result of the free or violent exodus of many people from their natural habitat. And in places of mass congestion of representatives of different races, interactions arose, the result of which was the emergence of transitional interracial types and even new peoples - such as Creoles. More precisely, "Creoles" are not a single people, but a group of ethnic groups that speak languages ​​that have arisen as a result of mixing: these are the so-called mixed languages, "lingua franca" or "pidgin English". Subsequent contacts between different miscegenation centers further confused the picture.

Now, for example, there is an opinion among experts that there are no purebred Negroids left in the United States. Due to the intensive mixing of the population (the notorious American "melting pot"), supposedly all "blacks" living in the States are actually mulattoes with various admixtures of Caucasian blood. Outgoing US President Barack Obama is also a mulatto. In general, due to the emergence in the 20th century of wide opportunities for choosing a place of residence due to the development of so-called globalization, the mixing of races has greatly accelerated. Some futurologists predict that over time, humanity will be a single race that has arisen as a result of the leveling of racial characteristics due to the widest miscegenation.

Table

It is not difficult to understand and in practice determine what is the difference between a mestizo and a mulatto. True, a number of subraces of the black (Negroid) race have some signs of Mongoloids - for example, the epicanthus (eye fold). It is, for example, characteristic of the Bushmen, the indigenous inhabitants of South Africa. But still, the main distinguishing feature of Negroids is very dark or completely black skin, and some nuances of the facial structure are dominant, so it’s impossible to make a mistake.

Reading books about Indians as a child, I quite often came across such a term as "mestizo"(half-breed Joe, half-breed Jim, half-breed Scotty...). Then I did not attach much importance to this word. While reading other books, in addition to the word “mestizo”, which was incomprehensible to me at that time, I also met something similar to it, but also an incomprehensible expression that sounds like "mulatto". Intrigued by this, I began to figure out who the "mestizos" are and who are the "mulattoes" after all.

Who are mestizos and mulattos

As I said earlier, when reading adventure works with Indians, I vaguely or, more precisely, intuitively, guessed that these were people descended from the marriage of a Caucasoid person and an Indian. But he wasn't sure until the end. After reading some scientific literature, I confirmed my guess.

As it turned out, mestizos really call people who are descendants of Indians and Europeans. But the very definition of "mestizo" implies any person descended from an interracial marriage (not only from Indians).


So, mestizos can come from a marriage between:

  • Indians with Europeans (hence the definition, mestizos);
  • Africans with Indians sambo);
  • Europeans with Africans mulattos);
  • Mongoloids with Africans ( Malagasy);
  • and from any other options.

But another word - "mulatto", was found in books that described the slave system in the states. Then African Americans were brought in to work on plantations.. After going to the library and rummaging through the necessary literature, I found out that mulattos - they are descendants of the Caucasian and Negroid races. Then everything became clear to me, finally I figured out a long-exciting issue.


So, we have dealt with these two definitions. And I will remind you once again that mulattoes are just a special case of mestizos.

Etymology of mestizos and mulattos

The etymology of these words is very interesting. So, mestizo(from Late Latin mysticius- mixed and from Latin misceo- I mix) can be deciphered as mixture one element with another. But such a concept as mulatto may have multiple sources. One of them comes from the Latin mulus- mule, a cross between a donkey and a stallion. The second option goes back to Arabic etymology - " muwallad”, which means “non-purebred Arab”.

Who are mestizos?

  1. Mestizos (fr. mtis, from late lat. misticius mixed, from lat. misceo I mix) are descendants from interracial marriages. Anthropologically, mestizos usually occupy an intermediate position between intermingled races. In America, mestizos are called descendants from marriages of Caucasians and Indians. In Central Asia, Mongoloids and Caucasians. Brazilian mestizos from the marriages of the Portuguese with the Tupi Indians, who made up the majority of the country's population, are known as mamelukos, and the Indians with Africans are pardos. 2 In countries with a predominantly homogeneous population, mestizos can become victims of racists.
  2. Children of two races.
  3. I will supplement the answer of Marina Petrova ... If a Jew with a Jewess (both 100%) is a Jew, and if with a different nationality - a Jew (they do not like each other: 100% - they will not let a Jew go beyond the threshold ... but touch them a little - another nationality - they will crap and try to destroy it, but in general the nation is cowardly, therefore they betray with ease)
  4. this is a child of mixed nationalities
  5. Born of a white man and an Indian, if I'm not mistaken.
  6. This is when Magamed is an Avar, and Zapir is an Azerbaijani, and Mahmud is half Maghamed, half Zapir
  7. Yes, it's not about the nations!! And in RAS! Mestizos are a mixture of EUROPEOIDS and ASIANs !!!
  8. Eto smes byldoga s nosorogom ;-)) Ha ha A esli seriezno, to - mulatto - a person born from white and black MULAT m. a person born of white and black (African) tribes; mestizo - from white and red (American) tribes. The third generation, if one of the parents is a European, tercerons, the fourth quarters, if one of the parents is a black man, then the children of the cabra. Creoles, whites born in other parts of the world, especially in Western India; zambos, from the red and black tribes. We have every mixture of tribes: a cuff and a boldyr; and the descendants of the cross: paboldyr.
  9. Mestizos (French, singular m#233;tis, from late Latin misticius mixed, from Latin misceo I mix) descendants from interracial marriages. Anthropologically, mestizos usually occupy an intermediate position between intermingled races. In America, mestizos are called descendants from marriages of Caucasians and Indians.

  16. So who are they - mestizos?

    Maybe we are all in one way or another? The word "mestizo" (metis) in translation from French - a mixture, a mixture, it means a person of mixed origin. The second, narrower meaning is a cross between a European and an American Indian. Mulattos are born from a Negro and a European, and the offspring of a Negro and an American Indian is called Sambo. In the future, of course, we will talk about mestizos in the broader sense of the word, i.e. about people born from parents of different races, well distinguishable by biological characteristics. This refers to the so-called large races, since a marriage between, say, a Ukrainian and a Russian or an Englishman and a German will simply be international, and the children born will not be mestizos. But marriages between Caucasians and Mongoloids, Mongoloids and Negroids, Caucasians and Negroids are considered mestizo - these groups differ significantly from each other both in appearance and in a number of other characteristics.

  17. mestizos are different nationalities. for example Buryat and Russian.

Mixing races is a trend that is very characteristic of modern humanity. Ethnic problems are becoming increasingly important, as they touch upon issues related to human biology and the problems of its social development, as well as to politics. Anthropologists claim that at least 1/5 of the world's population is mestizo.

So who are they - mestizos?

Maybe we are all in one way or another? The word "mestizo" ( metis) in translation from French - crossbreed, mixture, it means a person of mixed origin. The second, narrower meaning is a cross between a European and an American Indian. Mulattos are born from a Negro and a European, and the offspring of a Negro and an American Indian is called Sambo. In the future, of course, we will talk about mestizos in the broader sense of the word, i.e. about people born from parents of different races, well distinguishable by biological characteristics. This refers to the so-called large races, since a marriage between, say, a Ukrainian and a Russian or an Englishman and a German will simply be international, and the children born will not be mestizos. But marriages between Caucasians and Mongoloids, Mongoloids and Negroids, Caucasians and Negroids are considered mestizo - these groups differ significantly from each other both in appearance and in a number of other characteristics.

What is nationality and race?

We have come close to the need to clarify the terminology. Nationality is determined by three main parameters. Firstly, it is a person's awareness of his belonging to a particular nationality. Secondly, the presence of their own language. And thirdly, the presence of self-awareness in this language. True, there is a fourth feature introduced by Lev Gumilyov - these are behavioral stereotypes, ethno-psychological characteristics of a person, which are very revealing.

Race is a general biological category, characterized by the similarity of the gene pools of the populations that make up the race, and the presence of a certain geographical area of ​​origin and distribution. Traditionally, there are three main races: Caucasoids (or the Eurasian race), Negroids (Equatorials) and Mongoloids (Asian-American race). But many anthropologists believe that from a biological point of view, there are much more races - at least 8 or 10. In particular, one can name the South African (Bushmen and Hottentots), Australoid, Ainoid, Americanoid race and a number of others. Their representatives differ in some significant morphological features, such as skin, eye and hair color, facial features, etc. There are purely biological mechanisms of division into races. Firstly, in order to form a group with a kind of gene pool, isolation is necessary - then, due to the principle of random occurrence of mutations (both for a specific gene and for the time of occurrence), the group begins to automatically diverge, which is also facilitated by the probabilistic nature of the consolidation of new mutations. . Secondly, in various climatic and geographical zones, in the course of adaptation and natural selection, signs appear that contribute to survival in this area. Thirdly, there is a mixture of different groups that previously existed separately from each other, as a result of which intermediate variants arise, some of which stand out as small races.

Race as such exists not only in humans, but also in animals - crows, wolves. All of them (unlike breeds of cats, dogs) are of natural origin. Man by nature is very polymorphic and polytypical; unlike domestic animals, he was not affected by artificial selection. Races differ not only in appearance, but also geographically, i.e. any race in its formation has a separate habitat. There are also deeper racial traits, such as blood types. Molecular biology provides colossal material for studying the structure of the genome. If races are classified, for example, by blood groups or DNA fragments, then both coincidences and differences with the traditional classification according to morphological characteristics are possible. But if you increase the number of loci to determine the so-called "genetic distances", then the similarity of both types of classification increases.

Is humanity a single species?

Now there is not a single anthropologist, geneticist or biologist who would doubt this. Moreover, there are no prerequisites that could lead to the formation of a new kind of man in the foreseeable future, if only because the globe can be considered as an isolated system. However, too little time has passed on the scale of the Universe to talk about whether there is any movement in the bowels of mankind towards the creation of a new species. There are clear differences between rapid social phenomena and the much slower movement that occurs in the population, which is based on biological, evolutionary processes. Figuratively speaking, humanity flew into space with the same genome with which it emerged from the cave 40 thousand years ago. However, the unity of the species does not interfere with significant intraspecific diversity, which is typical for biological organisms. Moreover, diversity is the basis of species stability. This applies not only to social and biological phenomena, but also to culture.

Let us now consider the ways in which mestizos appeared.

Metization is directly related to migration processes. In genetics, there is the concept of "gene flow", i.e. slow mutual penetration of two large groups with different morphological features. There are so-called contact zones, i.e. areas where there was a mixture of populations. Such zones, in particular, are Western Siberia (zones of Caucasoids and Mogoloids), North Africa (Caucasians and Negroids), Southeast Asia (Caucasians, Mongoloids and Australoids). In these areas, mixing mechanisms have been operating for tens of thousands of generations, and the process of miscegenation can be traced back to 6 thousand years BC, when, due to the successful development of the Neolithic economy and the increase in population in subsequent epochs, mass migrations began. Oddly enough, the later migrations of peoples had relatively little effect on the anthropological composition of the population.

The development of civilization has given rise to new concepts, for example, "mestizos of war" - they appear as a result of a fairly long stay of the occupying army in a certain territory. So, in Vietnam, for many years a former French colony, a whole generation of Franco-Vietnamese mestizos was born. The same thing happened in Japan, where the American army was stationed after World War II. Separately, one can consider “colonial” mestizos, say, Anglo-Indians, of which today there are about 1 million. In general, among the reasons for the mixing of gene pools, one can name the lack of women from one of the contacting parties, mixed marriages for various social reasons - the establishment of good neighborly relations through kinship, the desire to avoid the harmful effects of inbreeding, the destruction of the male part of the population and the captivity of the female, leading to demographic genocide, etc.

Are there any abnormalities - whether physical, mental or intellectual - associated with miscegenation?
American researchers have proven that anomalies are no more common in mestizos than in other groups. There is also no need to talk about intellectual inequality associated with race - everything depends on socio-cultural development, upbringing, and education. In 1938, a French expedition discovered a very ancient and primitive tribe in Paraguay, which fled at the sight of scientists, leaving a one and a half year old girl by the fire. Anthropologists picked her up, brought her to Paris, and she, who was born in the Stone Age, became a real Parisian, absolutely adapted to the European way of life and speaking three foreign languages. Another example - Pushkin and Dumas were mestizos, and no one doubts their genius.

As for the external data of mestizos, no disharmony is observed, moreover, they are often very beautiful.
Since the Neolithic, man has been persistently and successfully breeding new breeds of animals, but there has always been a very strong internal prohibition on “human breeding”. Marriages between cousins ​​were also strictly tabooed, not to mention outright incest. Probably, in the course of gaining experience and identifying the undesirable consequences of inbreeding, there was a gradual exclusion of closely related marriages, which was entrenched in a series of generations in the form of severe prohibitions that go beyond religious systems. Probably, these taboos were established before religions took shape. The example of the Australian Aborigines is very indicative - they created an amazing system of counting kinship, where each person knows his origin and, accordingly, who can potentially become his wife. In Siberia, in some places, the tradition of knowing one's genealogy has also been preserved, designed to exclude closely related marriages. An amazing example is known when an 8-year-old Aleut girl from the Commander Islands dictated to a scientist a list of her relatives on half a notebook. Of course, people consciously controlled this process. The problem of inbreeding was encountered at a certain stage by aristocrats, in particular, royal families, where dynastic marriages were accepted, as a result of which almost all royal families were related by family ties. A good example is Tsarevich Alexei, who was ill with hemophilia, a hereditary disease that also affected other crowned families.

There are many more mestizos on earth than you might think. For example, Cubans, American Indians, almost the entire black population of America, and in the southern states there is less mixing than in the northern ones - a kind of echo of the confrontation between the democratic north and the slave-owning south. Mestizo groups in the Caribbean and Central America are often referred to as Creoles. But the Polynesians are such a peculiar group that they can be distinguished into a separate race.

You can recognize a mestizo by some "deviation" from the canonical features characteristic of specific races. For example, in Siberia, people are often found with all the morphological features of the Mongoloids - and the blue eyes of Europeans. Another example is North Africans or black Americans with European facial features and clear signs of the Negroid race. In Altai, the Mongoloid type is common, combined with noticeable facial hair, which is uncharacteristic of pure Mongoloids - you will never meet a Chinese or Mongol with a bushy beard or lush mustache.

What are the perspectives of humanity from an anthropological point of view? Is it possible that someday it will become a single race and give birth to a new Adam and Eve?
In the modern world, there are processes of globalization, mixing of countries and peoples. Nevertheless, it is obvious that this cannot be expected in the foreseeable future - human biology is quite conservative, and in order for any serious changes to occur on a universal scale, and even more so to gain a foothold, thousands of generations must change. However, during the last 3–5 thousand years, some trends can be traced that are characteristic of the entire species. For example, there is a reduction of the dentition, which is probably associated with a change in the way of eating, cooking. Apparently, people will soon lose the wisdom tooth - in many population groups it is already virtually gone, it does not even erupt. On the other hand, the weakening of this apparatus leads to an increase in the number of diseases of the oral cavity. The bite has changed - 4-5 thousand years ago, in humans, the upper and lower jaws coincided, while in our case the upper jaw slightly protrudes forward. The fact is that the lower jaw is a free bone, it is not connected with others, and therefore it is reduced faster. There are other universal human tendencies - acceleration, for example. However, it is rather difficult to predict such processes. Moreover, in all of Russia there is only one institute of anthropology at Moscow University, and even the department of anthropology also at Moscow State University, it is worth mentioning the department of anthropology of the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (for comparison, there are about 200 different institutes of physics in Moscow alone).

Oddly enough, the science of man as a social and biological being in the unity of all its aspects practically does not exist.
