No. Middle easterners are from a different genetic group, and have assimilated Europeans – exterminating them from the Bosphorus to India.
Look at genes. (See lists below) Middle Easterner’s are of West Asian origins (anatolian, semitic, persian). And while the west asian branch of caucasians has reached across more of the world than europeans (until the 1400’s) Arabs appear to originate from Ethiopian/Arabian crossing (an early trade location) and are a mixture of african and west asian. This is largely because west asians (black haired swarthier) had different agrarian, pastoral needs, and much greater outgroup competition (middle east is the intersection of four continents, and nearly all the racial, sub racial, and tribal groups – hence the obvious tribalism still present in the demographics – particularly among ‘The Evil 80’s’ which the warmer climates have not been able to eliminate.
Caucasian is the wrong term. Principally because ‘Whites’ are not of west asian origins, nor from the caucuses, but from the north and west of the black sea, while west asians have darker coloring, more cartilage, different cephalic indexes, and higher impulsivity (which I prefer to state as ‘more emotional’).
Indo european expansion was successful across the eurasian plain, and down into west asia. However, *all those peoples were assimilated and are gone*. This is because the ‘uniqueness’ of westerners cannot survive competition with outsiders any more than east asians (Han, Korean, Japanese) can. East asians have succeeded at greater neoteny than even europeans – but from an earlier fork in the homo sapiens sapiens expansion.
West indo europeans appear to have ‘matured’ in poland and ukraine, and then expanded eastward displacing their west asian competitors. and we can see patterns of radiation of genes in europe consisting of at least three waves a) early neolithic, agrarian, and horse-riding. The last wave (R1a-germanic-slavic) divides the prior two (I1/I2-Nordic,Southern, and R1b/Atlantic) very clearly along the european plain (where horses and cattle can be easily fed).
We have learned a lot in the past thirty years, and it mirrors pre-war thought. Post-war this line of thought has been prosecuted – especially since 1960s and the introduction of Postmodernism from the French (once Marxism’s class warfare had failed, the marxists adopted identity warfare.)
TRAITS: MOST GROUP DIFFERENCES ARE EXPRESSIONS OF SUCCESS OR FAILURE AT NEOTONIC SELECTION GIVEN THE PRESSURES OF WARM CLIMATES.
“Europeans” share continuous, and difficult-to-evolve traits that west asians do not.
a) lower testosterone levels (and lower impulsivity)
b) greater neoteny (slower sexual maturity)
c) greater pedomorphism (retention of aquiline/childhood traits)
d) lighter coloring (skin and hair – less ‘swarthy’)
e) greater cephalic index (probably due to greater neoteny)
(f) lower ‘clannishness’ from birth. (really. from the day they’re born.)
(g) (I am not sure about this yet) Possibly higher rates of sociopathy (purely rational actors, and free of governing impulse). There is too much overlap in the (scarce and questionable) literature to separate biological sociopathy (lack of empathy) which is evident in brain structure, and various anti-social behaviors. In whites, the autism spectrum appears more common, and without comorbidity, whereas in non-whites it appears comorbid with other (birth) mental defects. This could be caused by nothing other than northern european whites have been exceptionally successful not only at neoteny, but at ‘ridding the population’ of the underclass through winters, starvation, manorialism, disease, war – and extremely aggressive hanging for over 1000 years. So I suspect that these statistics are merley demographic (class), and that the positive results of class (lower emotionality and impulse, higher influence of reason) just express themselves to a higher degree in whites (sociopathy, non-comorbid autism, lower testosterone, more aquiline features).
