Answer 2

The Caucasus are a mountainous region bounded by the Black Sea to the west, the Caspian Sea to the east, Russia to the north, and Turkey and Iran to the South west and south east. Caucasians can be identified as Georgians, Armenians, Dagestanians, Chechans, Circassians, some Kurds, some Turkic peoples, some Iranians, and a whole slew of of ethnic minorities. If you describe yourself as a "regular white guy", and you're American, then you probably won't find your "roots" in the Caucasus. You are probably the result of American crossbreeding of English, Irish and German stock... maybe with some Polish, French or Scandnavian thrown in, in short, your "ethnicity", if you don't know what it is, is probably pretty watered down and the best homeland to look for would be the good ol' US of A (or some European Union member if you really feel the need). The term Caucasian, as used to describe people of fair complexion, is an Americanism. A 19th century writer called Blumenbach thought that the "white" race had originated Caucasus Mountains, but most anthropologists reject this theory, as it was not based on any empirical evidence.

Answer 3

CAUCASIA, or Caucasus, a governor-generalship of Russia, occupying the isthmus between the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov on the west and the Caspian Sea on the east, as well as portions of the Armenian highlands. Its northern boundary is the Kuma-Manych depression, a succession of narrow, halfdesiccated lakes and river-beds, only temporarily filled with water and connecting the Manych, a tributary of the Don, with the Kuma, which flows into the Caspian. This depression is supposed to be a relic of the former post-Pliocene connexion between the Black Sea and the Caspian, and is accepted by most geographers as the natural frontier between Europe and Asia, while others make the dividing-line coincide with the principal water-parting of the Caucasus mountain system. The southern boundary of Caucasia is in part coincident with the river Aras (Araxes), in part purely conventional and political. It was shifted several times during the 19th century, but now runs from a point on the Black Sea, some 20 m. south of Batum, in a south-easterly and easterly direction to Mt. Ararat, and thence along the Aras to within 30 m. of its confluence with the Kura, where it once more turns south-east, and eventually strikes the Caspian at Astara (30° 35' N.).

Answer 4

You are in your homeland. If you live in American then these are your roots. Well your ancestors did not find American first, but they conquered and took over and made this the land of the free and the home of the brave. If you want to know your roots go back in History, you will find what you are looking for. There is no Caucasia Land so sorry, there is only england and american.

Answer 5

Caucasians did get their name from the Caucasus region but that probably no more reflects the average Caucasian's roots than Africa does (which is ultimately where we all came from).
