阿拉伯-維達人種

阿拉伯-維達人種(英語:Arabian-Veddoid),是阿拉伯人種與維達人種的古老混合類型。阿拉伯半島伊朗南部的部分人種類型,通常嚴重混合。分布於阿曼南部的邁赫拉人英語Mehri people也門哈德拉毛和周圍地區,蘇薩伊朗人莫克蘭索科特拉人英語Soqotri people[1]也分布於美索不達米亞甚至努比亞。此類型可能與原始阿拉伯人以及印度達羅毗荼人有關。

體質特徵

深棕色皮膚、捲曲黑髮、身材較矮、軀幹長、胖型或瘦長體型、中短頭顱型、窄頭、高頭型顱骨、中等狹長的鼻子或低鼻子、眼窩深陷、鬍鬚濃密和輕微的下顎骨前突。

種族理論

阿拉伯-維達人種被認為與印度南部與錫蘭的維達部落有親緣關係,同時與遠至澳大利亞澳大利亞原住民有着密切的聯繫。[2]在阿拉伯半島南部目前的居民中,維達人種血統被發現有着不同程度的稀釋狀況(融合或混雜於其他民族之間)。[3]

阿拉伯半島最東端直到波斯灣,在伊朗本土上,是伊朗莫克蘭的西部邊界,該領土被西俾路支人的一部分占據。這些地區被印度人的入侵所隔開,他們說梵語的衍生語言,來自東俾路支人和布拉灰人,他們的語言與達羅毗荼語有關。儘管俾路支人印歐語系伊朗語支,如波斯人阿富汗人帕坦人,但他們的人種關係部分存在於其他地方。[4]對於布拉灰人來說,他們似乎是哈德拉毛孤立的維達類型之間混合的結果,以及他們的語言親戚所屬的伊朗-阿富汗人種。大多數卑路支斯坦人和布拉灰人與輪廓分明類型的哈德拉毛人之間的區別僅僅是阿拉伯南部的纖細型地中海類型與伊朗-阿富汗人種之間的區別。[5]

From Chapter XI: The Mediterranean World – The Mediterranean race in Arabia : "The inhabitants of Arabia may be divided into two general groups: Arabs proper, and the aboriginal inhabitants of Hadhramaut, the Dhofar country, and the island of Socotra. Those who belong to the first category are almost without exception of Mediterranean race, and it is with this group that we are dealing in our search for a pure Mediterranean form. The Hadhramaut, on the other hand, contains a varied population with at least four social and ethnic elements. These include the Bedawin, who live in the smaller side valleys and in the valleys between the Hadhramaut proper and the Gulf of Aden. They are slender, small-headed men, with ringlet hair, and facial features which relate them partly to the great Veddoid group of humanity. Their affiliation to the white racial stock is of a borderline quality."

From Chapter XI: The Mediterranean World – The Veddoid periphery, Hadhramaut to Baluchistan: "At any rate, like all major divisions, the Veddoid group appears to include both dolichocephalic and brachycephalic sub-races. Among the present inhabitants of southern Arabia the Veddoid strain is found in various degrees of dilution."
