[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] Actually the origins of Europeans came from many sources. The term caucasian and the idea of Europeans originating in the Caucasus is more folk tale than anthropology. By the time the ice retreated, the people started flowing back from the East and included populations from South Asia, Central Asia, the Levant and parts of Africa. From this stock arose the features identified as European "caucasian" originated. Nobody knows exactly when the trait of permanent pale skin arose in these people, but it has been estimated to have been from 10-20,000 years ago. Clyde is also correct that the original populations of Mesopotamia did indeed include black aboriginal types from Mesopotamia, Africa and Arabia and these were gradually replaced by more northern populations ultimately originating in and around the Caucasus and Eurasian Steppes. But this nonsense about cave mutations is pure fantasy land. Feature wise, there is no such thing as a feature type that originated in the caucasus, as people with extremely narrow gracile facial structures developed in Africa and South Asia prior to the population of the Caucasus mountains.
