Where Did White People First Originate?

There is a lot of speculation and theories about the origin of Caucasian (white) people. Of course no one is really sure of how, when or where the Caucasian (white) race began. One theory is that white people became fair complexion, (including hair, skin and eyes) from migrating to northern Europe many thousands of years ago and evolved as fair complexion white people.There is another theory that white people originated from Albino Asian people who migrated to the more favorable climate of northern Europe where there is less sun light which is not so harsh on the skin of Albino people.


Albinism, a genetic disorder in which people or even animals affected with it, have no hair, skin and eye pigment because they lack melanin, is what gives people and animals their coloring. Albinism is usually passed on either completely or completely not having the disorder. However that does not explain how white people have various shades of hair color ranging from very light blonde to brown and black, or skin color, ranging from extremely fair to olive (tan) skin.


In fact, white people are said to be descended from Aryans, who are believed to be the first white people. Aryans are believed to have originated in Iran or India. Iran's name is derived from the word Aryan. Even the languages of Europe are classified as the "Indo-European languages". The very contraversial "swastika" symbol, which was common in Nazi Germany, is said to have originated from India and means, "Noble" or "Honorable One"


However, neither of these theories explain why there are dark haired and dark eyed people who live in northern parts of the world and specifically northern Europe. The Scandinavian countries have plenty of dark haired people who are white. Also the theories dont explain why Eskimos are darker complexion, who's ancesters have lived very far north for thousands of years.


There is also a belief that all races (ethnicities), began while people attempted to build the Tower of Babel, which (according to chapter 11 of the Book of Genesis in the Bible), was a very large tower built at the ancient city of Babel (Babylon). This is a very widespread belief in many cultures, and religions of the world, including, Christianity, Judaism and Mormon. Some Native Americans also have this belief. The belief that all races originated from the Tower of Babel, backs up the theory that white people originated in the Middle East, which of course is where Iran and India are. It is said that the Tower of Babel was in Babylon which is believed to be where the country of Iraq is now. It is quite possible that the white race did not originate in Iran or India, but their neighboring Iraq.


The belief that the white race, as well as all races, originated in the Middle East, makes sense to me. However, Im not so sure that the white race originated from Albinism, as it is a rare, and recessive genetic disorder. I believe God made all the races, including the white race. Whether or not the first white person or people were Albino, we can only guess.
