I am well aware of the Tocharians and while it may be true that some east Asians may have small traces of White blood, I find your east Asians are 3/4 White claim to be a bit far fetched. You're not the only one:rolleyes: The East Asian's success and advancements have been due to their own ingenuity and intelligence if you ask me. Not some hypothetical Aryan ancestry from 3 thousand years ago... Some non White, non Aryan people have actually been responsible for some of their own achievements....It's true.      '1)  How did the East Asian lose his darker skin pigmentation when we consider the hot climate of China?  (the American Indians migrated into America by way of the orient, so we can thusly assume that those who were left over in China were of the same race. Therefore, it is strange to think their skin would become so much lighter).     Northern and central China, Korea, and most of Japan are not very hot climates at all. Southern Chinese from the Hong Kong area are obviously darker because they are in a hot sub tropical, equatorial environment, I don't think the North East Asians lost their darker pigmentation at all I don't think they ever had a dark pigmentation to begin with. Plus...the Khmer Empire of south east Asia specifically present day Cambodia and Thailand were building magnificent palaces and temples back when most north east Asians were still rather uncivilized. Now uncivilized doesen't mean unintelligent or anything. Civilization has become associated with being intelligent or refined, but the real meaning of civilization is just citified. The Greeks and Romans were civilized, their life centered around large urban cities, whereas the northern Europeans were uncivilized, they weren't stupid, they just didn't build cities they were more rural and less cityfied aka civilized people.     Now the Khmer Empire was building magnificent palaces and temples at a time that most northern Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese were still pretty uncivilized so to speak. Do you think this is because the Khmers were Aryan? They were part White>? I don't, I give credit where credit is due, other non Aryan, non White races have made some great achievements all on their own. On the issue of civilization, I see an obvious direct correlation between civilization and the environment. A year round warm climate is conducive to civilization or...city building. Whereas a colder, rainy, snowy northern environment is less conducive to civilization. The northern Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese are obviously some of the most intelligent people on the Earth, every bit as intelligent as the South East Asians and yet...the S-E Asians like the Khmers were building these spectacular cities at a time when most north east Asians were stilll pretty uncivilized... Same in Europe, and America, the southern Europeans were building Rome and Athens while the north Europeans were still barbarians or..uncivilized...rurul and/or nomadic. And in America, the more northern indians were less civilized than their Aztec, Mayan, Incan southern counterparts, they weren't any less intelligent or creative just less civilized/cityfied. There's an obvious correlation betweeen the climate and civilization.
