Sokolsky the greatest change history for at least 4,000 years j has been made principally by pro j pies who lived North of the i Equator. The unfold ments of civilization in Asia and Europe were Northern. India for instance which represents a Southern civilization a most affected by mongol and persian influences other parts of Southeast Asia definitely Are of a Basic Sinic civilization. The arabs who moved into various areas of the african continent and gave evidence of High potentials originated As did the jews in Mesopotamia.
