How many people actually know where and how Caucasian came to be white people.
What part of the world did Caucasian originated from?
Who were these people before they became to be known as Caucasian/white people?

There were the Celts, Gauls, Germanics and Slavs, though, I think the Gauls are extinct now.

...We are from the Northern Hemisphere of the earth. All the way around.

I have no idea how many people know it but "Caucasians" are only white people in a (relatively recent - i.e. last couple of centuries) US social context.

In anthropology, the term was originally - I believe - a classification based on the morphology of skeletons and craniums that (it seems) resembled the morphologies of people originating from the Caucasus region near the Black Sea (whose frames were thought to be the most 'beautiful' of all humans)...it had nothing to do with skin colour and included people from Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and India. It was one of three 'racial' classifications along with Mongolians and Negros and had very little to do with either ancestry or genetics.

The Indo-European language group originated in the area known as the Caucasus, which is between the Black Sea and the Caspian. Originally, 'Caucasian' designated a part of the language group, and only later became connected to skin color.

Yeah that's right.
Back after Jesus Christ was crucified some 100 years or so 10 tribes of Israel went over the Caucasus mountains and settled in what is now called Europe and Britain and then many of those tribes came across the Atlantic ocean and settled what is now called the
United States.
There are only 2 tribes left in Israel.
The tribe of Judah and Israel.

The other 10 tribes of Israel went over the Caucasus mountains,
This is why Caucasian being referred to white people.
Many white people have no clue or idea
Why they are referred as Caucasian and who they really are.

Lol, not this stupid crap again. You do realize that the European tribes existed long before Jesus, right? Germanic, Celtic, Slavic, Hellenic, Italic, etc. peoples had settled Europe long before he existed.

Not all of them. Some racists think being black, Arabic or Asian is better. Do you recognise the ironic mistake you made yet? :cool:

We know from science and the book of Enoch that the first humans were black. The question arises where the white people come from. The science says, that some of the black people emigrated to the north (Europe) and after a long time by the new climate slowly became white. But that is wrong. The answer is, the white people are not only humans but also angels. The white people are the children of the fallen angels who have mixed with the human women.

AND
"The Caucasian race (also Caucasoid or Europid) is a grouping of human beings historically regarded as a biological taxon, which, depending on which of the historical race classifications is used, has usually included some or all of the ancient and modern populations of Europe, Western Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa.

First introduced in the 1780s by members of the Göttingen School of History, the term denoted one of three purported major races of humankind (Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid). In biological anthropology, Caucasoid has been used as an umbrella term for phenotypically similar groups from these different regions, with a focus on skeletal anatomy, and especially cranial morphology, over skin tone. Ancient and modern "Caucasoid" populations were thus held to have ranged in complexion from white to dark brown. Since the second half of the 20th century, physical anthropologists have moved away from a typological understanding of human biological diversity towards a genomic and population-based perspective, and have tended to understand race as a social classification of humans based on phenotype and ancestry as well as cultural factors, as the concept is also understood in the social sciences.Although Caucasian / Caucasoid and their counterparts Negroid and Mongoloid have been used less frequently as a biological classification in forensic anthropology (where it is sometimes used as a way to identify the ancestry of human remains based on interpretations of osteological measurements), the terms remain in use by some anthropologists.

In the United States, the root term Caucasian has also often been used in a different, societal context as a synonym for white or of European, Middle Eastern, or North African ancestry Its usage in American English has been criticized."
