Are Arabs, Indians and Persians Caucasian peoples ?

Question

Anyone know ?

Answer 1

There has obviously been some mixing between peoples over the centuries, but genetically, all three of these groups are quite distinct. Semitic DNA is dominant within Arabs, and is shared by many peoples throughout the Middle East and northern Africa. Persians are related to the Aryans who settled in northern India. Modern Persians, however, are far from pure bred...and most are only nominally Persian. The Aryans who went to India mixed with the native Hamitic peoples there.

If you're a Bible believer, we would group Arabs under the descendents of Shem, the Persians and the Indo-Aryans under Yafet, and the ancient native peoples of India under Ham.

*Note: There is no such thing as race...skin color is a continuum.

All light skinned people cannot be labled "Caucasian" or "Anglo". These terms are sweeping generalizations that are misapplied. True Persians are distantly related to modern Turks, Kurds, Croats, etc., but not to Arabs.

Answer 2

um depends. all persians are fair skinned. arabs are also fair but u can there are also arabs with dark tanned skinned. there are some really fair skinned indians with colourfull eyes, but there are only 30 % really fair indians. but trust me in 100 yrs this figure wll rise to about 70 %. most indians have generally yellow - brown coloured skin.

Answer 3

No. They are middle eastern. FYI Indians have nothing to do with persians and arabs.
