Answer 1

White dominance where? You could probably follow European Colonialism for a traditional view. If you go back to Ancient Egypt, we see the Egyptians/Arabs (lighter skin) enslaving the Nubians (darker skin).

Answer 2

White dominance? Of what? If you're talking about industralization, then that does pretty well apply. If you're talking about creating societies, then that doesn't apply considering the Incas, Myans, Aztecs, Egyptions, Mesopotamians etc.

If light skinned people do "dominate" the world, then it's because of their own ingenuity and drive. It's not the white race's fault some societies were content to do nothing more than follow buffalo around the North American plains, chase game through African jungles or play a digeriedoo in the Australian desert. I'm in no way playing the race card and I know there were individuals of all those groups that made great contributions to world society. But it seems that some groups of people either desired or were forced to come up with innovations to survive. If you think about it, many of the "advanced" European and Asian countries of time past were the same ones that suffered a devestating plauge or other catastrophy every time they turned around. Maybe adversity forced them to "think outside the box" and as a result, they excelled over other groups that were not challenged.

Answer 3

Everyone enslaved everyone depending on how their wars went, since war began, but the terms of the slavery were different in different societies. Middle eastern societies seem to have been major players in slave trading as time passed.

Meanwhile, Europeans traded along the African coast pretty much as equals until about the 1400's when the Europeans developed guns. This allowed them to establish bases on the shore and into the interior a little, and it also meant they had something African leaders wanted for warfare--the guns. Warfare meant the taking of captives as slaves, as from time immemorial, and Europeans needed cheap labor, leading to a perfect arrangement in which guns were traded for slaves in industrial-sized numbers. Etc,etc.

Answer 4

non whites have always dominated the world in population. the last numbers I've seen are 7 non whites for each white world wide, but this ratio is constantly changing due to the lower reproductive rate of whites.

Answer 5

well first of all the type white and people thinking themselves as color began wit that whole darwinism/ Enlightement period. Before then it was christian versus non. So maybe around 1800s.
