Overview

Where did the white race come from? Did Europeans descend from Neanderthals? Were the first Europeans dark-skinned? Did lighter skin evolve through climate adaptation? Is there any truth to claims that Europeans descended from African albinos? And how did the concept of the ""Caucasian race"" emerge in the first place? In Origins of the White Race, Frederick Amakom explores one of the most controversial and fascinating subjects in human history through the lenses of: genetics, anthropology, archaeology, ancient DNA, migration, climate adaptation, and racial theory. Drawing from modern scientific discoveries and historical research, this book takes readers on an extraordinary journey: from prehistoric Africa, to the Ice Age landscapes of Europe, from Neanderthals and Denisovans, to the rise of Indo-European peoples, colonialism, eugenics, and the modern debate over race and identity. Inside this book, readers will discover: the African origins of modern humanity, how Europeans evolved over thousands of years, what genetics really says about race, why skin color changes, the truth about Neanderthal DNA, how ""whiteness"" became a political identity, and why modern science increasingly challenges older ideas about racial purity. Balanced, provocative, and deeply researched, Origins of the White Race separates evidence from myth while confronting some of the most emotionally charged questions of the modern world. This is not simply the story of Europeans. It is the story of humanity itself.
