Artificial intelligence achievements were able tosurprise us again. So, specialists from the University of Glasgow were able to recreate computer versions of average residents from around the world. How do they differ? Let's try to understand this interesting question together.
According to AI, average Russians may look something like this
Why did the races appear?
As you know, now on earthapproximately 7 billion people live. Absolutely all of them come from the ancient species Homo Sapiens, regardless of their nationality or ethnic origin. If so, why are we all so different?
Well, the foundations of the theory of races were first laid inback in 1900, when the famous Russian-French naturalist Joseph Deniker first created maps of the European racial composition. The researcher was able to identify 6 different races, each of which stood out due to its characteristic features.

Currently, the theory of races is somewhat simplified,leaving only 3 main races that differ most in appearance. So, today there is a Caucasoid race, the representatives of which include the inhabitants of Europe, Central Asia, Hindustan, as well as the inhabitants of North and South America; Negroid race, representatives of which live on the greater territory of the African continent; Mongoloid race, which almost completely captured the territory of modern Asia.
Besides the big races mentioned above, there are alsosmall races, which include representatives of the Americanoid race living in the Americas, as well as representatives of the Veddo-Australoid race, whose habitat is limited to the Australian continent.

Anthropologists believe the world's first racesappeared in the Paleolithic era, while the Caucasian type of man arose much later - during the Neolithic onset. In any case, modern science operates on two main theories about the causes of various races on the planet. The polycentric theory says that the crossing of various human species on the borders of their main habitat led to the emergence of the so-called intermediate races, which gradually spread over the planet, acquiring more and more characteristic features of a particular main race.
However, if earlier it was believed that the ancient ancestorSince man came out of Southeast Africa, now scientists are increasingly questioning this statement. So, the found remains of an ancient man who lived in Australia about 60 thousand years ago became a real bone of contention between polycentrists and monocentrists. DNA analysis of the petrified skeleton showed that the ancient Australian aborigine has nothing to do with his African counterparts.

In other words, most likely the theorypolycentrists turned out to be true, and people really came from different parts of the world. Migrating, our ancestors crossed among themselves, gradually forming more and more nationalities with their own cultures and traditions. Moreover, adapting to life in a particular area, the organisms of ancient people changed, adapting to one or another climatic features. Thus, the Mongoloid race acquired an epicanthus, thanks to which modern inhabitants of Asian countries have acquired a high level of adaptation and can live in almost any habitat.
Negroid race is more resistant toincreased solar radiation, but at the same time it is most dependent on the manifestations of solar activity and does not adapt well when moving to the northern regions with a lower level of illumination.
Caucasoid race is more resistantto cold and short daylight hours, which is often observed in the northern parts of the Eurasian continent. At the same time, the Caucasoid is much worse adapted to life in the hottest places of the planet in comparison with the representative of the Negroid race.
What do average people in different countries look like?
All the anatomical characteristics that are currently observed in representatives of different races, at one time helped them survive under different conditions of their chosen habitat.
</ p>What do average people in different countries look like?
It is believed that members of the same race livingin different countries, they often differ from each other not only in specific cultural features and traditions observed by their peoples, but also in unique external features. We all differ from each other due to such indicators as skin color, eye color and hair color. Knowing the external features of a particular nationality, we can learn to accurately determine the origin of our interlocutor.
Portraits of representatives of different nationalities
In order to compile the averagea portrait of a representative of a particular nationality, researchers from the University of Glasgow using artificial intelligence analyzed several thousand images of volunteers from around the world who participated in a unique experiment. The result of what they did, you can see above.
