Mutations in genes might have played a role, but the climate of the places to which the human population migrated from India might also have played an important role in changing the physical features of the migrants. It might also be possible that these genes of varying physical characters were dormant during the Golden and Silver Ages and then became active from the Copper Age when human population migrated to different parts of the world with different climatic conditions. Cross-breeding among the early variants might have led to further variations.
But broadly speaking, could we categorize the human population on the basis of physical features in the following way:
- 1. South Asian (Hindu).
2. East Asian (Buddhist).
3. Arabian (Muslim).
4. European (including the population that migrated to other continents like America and Australia) (Christian).
5. African (predominantly Muslim).
6. Native Americans.
