I. Asian race

Also known as yellow race. The main characteristics are black and hard hair, eyes with inner canthus folds, underdeveloped body hair and medium skin color. It mainly includes Southeast Asians in Southeast Asia, East Asians in the East, and Indians in North and South America.

Second, African races.

Also known as black. The main feature is that black hair is small and curly, which is generally divided into South Africa and North Africa. The former is distributed in sub-Saharan Africa, with a short nose, usually a round skull and a relatively dark skin color. The latter is distributed in the north of sub-Saharan Africa, with a high nose, thin lips and dark overall skin color.

Third, Caucasian race

Also known as white. Mainly manifested as wavy and soft hair, there are five main colors: white, gold, red, brown and black. The cheekbones are not obvious, the nose is high and the lips are thin. Generally, the skull is long and the skin color is light. Caucasians mainly originated from the aborigines in North Africa after albinism, and then spread to North Africa, West Asia, Central Asia, South Asia and Europe, and gradually spread to the whole of Oceania, South America and North America from the16th century.

Four. Oceania race

Also known as brown people. The main manifestations are small wavy black hair, high nose and thin lips, usually long skull type and medium skin color. Mainly distributed in the islands of Oceania in the Far East, as well as Australia and New Zealand. For example, the Maori in the North Island of New Zealand. Ordinary clothes are woven from straw, while stone carvings are generally used for decoration around buildings. Island civilization is remarkable, mainly inheriting the Indian civilization belonging to ancient America.

Extended data

Maori:

Maori are the aborigines of New Zealand. In Maori, this word actually means "normal people" or "ordinary people", because Europeans at that time asked them what to call their national names, and they replied that they were normal people-they regarded foreigners as abnormal or abnormal people (Pakeha). Many archaeologists and historians believe that they are from Cook Islands and Polynesia? At the source of this area, even scientists have discovered the Maori and the aborigines in Taiwan Province Province? Their genes are very close, and their languages and cultures are also very similar. Now their population is nearly 390,000.

National history:

According to the legend of their eldest son, in 800 AD, a man named Kuрe fell in love with a villager's wife, and then one day he killed her husband. Cooper was afraid that the people in that village would retaliate when they found out, so he prepared his daily necessities and prepared to leave the island. After rowing for several weeks, Cooper finally saw a strange new continent. There is a long white cloud on this particularly large land, so Cooper calls this land "otero", which means "land of long white clouds" in English.

Cooper rowed back to his hometown and reported to everyone in the village that the new big island was uninhabited, with fertile land and a special giant bird, which was later called "the fear bird".

In the early days, only some islanders went to Attichiro to look for and hunt this "bird-fearing" giant bird. They set fire to the forest while hunting, so this "fear of birds" giant bird disappeared long ago when Europeans discovered New Zealand hundreds of years later.

On the west coast of South Island, a young woman found an emerald, which they called "Pounamu". This material is regarded as sacred by Maori, and many figures, accessories and weapons are made of this jade. /kloc-In the 4th century, the Maori living in the South Pacific started the history of New Zealand civilization. For hundreds of years, they have formed a strict tribal system and class system. Before the arrival of western civilization, Maori have been living in their traditional social form.

The food they eat is sweet potatoes, taro, sweet potatoes and other vegetables brought from the island group. Maori also brought _, dogs and mice. After the mouse, it eats many eggs from New Zealand. Most Maori eat crabs, shrimps, eels and other seafood.

In BC 1200, seven canoes came to Attichiro from an island country in the South Pacific. This is the first planned migration of islanders. During these 200 years, Maori have been living in all parts of New Zealand's North Island and South Island.
