For the last two weeks, we discussed about tribes.
We can classify ourselves into various points of view like looks, jobs, religions and so on.
Of course, races come under tribes and I think many people sorts ourselves by this point.
But, I wondered who to think of race for the first time as I turned my head around it.
So, I examined it and found out the interesting idea. according to various Internet sources,
Johann Friedrich Blumenbach is a first person to classify mankind into some groups in 1775.
But, his idea was based on the Christianity and he thought European are the best of all because
christian considers white as holy color and black as dark color. Consequently, he thought
European are the most beautiful and the fundamental form of human and other groups like
Asian and African are degenerated from it.
Honestly,I'm so surprised about the lasting effect of the Christianity to people. What happen to
our world if a idea that Asian or African is the best of all in the same time is spread?
