MARCH OF THE TITANS -
A HISTORY OF THE WHITE RACE
Chapter 1 : Important Issues
This book tells the story of White people as a racial group and not primarily of any specific geographic area. Hence the backdrop to this story jumps continents, ages and civilizations, linked only by the commonality of a genetic inheritance. Crucial to the understanding of the theme of this book is an understanding of the concepts of race, ethnicity and culture.
RACE, ETHNICITY AND CULTURE
A race is defined as a group of individuals sharing common genetic attributes which determine that group's physical appearance and, more controversially, their cognitive abilities. Ethnicity is defined as the creation of groupings by individuals (most often within racial groups but also possible across racial divides) of certain common traditions, languages, art forms, attitudes and other means of expression.
A culture is the name given to the physical manifestations created by ethnic groupings - the actual language, art forms, religion and social order and achievements of a particular ethnic group. In practical terms then, it is possible to talk of a White race; of a Scottish ethnicity and a Scottish culture. The last two - ethnicity and culture - are directly dependent upon each other, and in fact flow from each other in a symbiotic relationship. This book deals then primarily with White racial history, and flowing from that, White ethnic groupings and cultures.
THE WHITE RACE - THREE SUBGROUPINGS
What exactly is meant by the White race? Essentially there are three main subgroupings to the White race, with two further divisions of note. The three major subgroupings are known to academics as Nordic, Alpine and Mediterranean.
Although these names have come about mainly as a result of the geographic areas these subgroupings have been associated with in the Christian era (Nordics in northern Europe, Alpines in central Europe and Mediterraneans in southern Europe) it is incorrect to believe that these groupings always occupied these regions. These three main subgroupings have played a role in events in almost every geographical region where the White race as a group has appeared.
Of these three original groupings, only two are existent in any large numbers today: the Nordics and the Alpines. The original Mediterraneans of ancient history are not to be confused with those people loosely termed "Mediterranean" today - the present day inhabitants of the Mediterranean region are largely mixtures of several races, with the original White Mediterranean component for the greatest part having long since been submerged amongst invasions first of the Nordic and Alpine White sub-groupings, and then under non-White Arabic, Turkish and other Middle Eastern and North African racial groupings.
To illustrate the concept of these three main subgroupings: although there is a broadly termed "Black race" in existence, there are major sub-groupings amongst that racial grouping: the Congo basin Pygmy and the ultra tall Masai tribesmen of Kenya are two good examples of subgroupings within the Black racial group.
A sub grouping is therefore a branch of a particular race which exhibits slightly different physical characteristics but still shares enough of a common genetic inheritance with other sub-groupings to be included in a broad racial category.
