Interesting, how european-australians (non-mixed with other races) will look in the future, if take in mind that they live in country with very high UV level? Will they adopt to Australian climate (for example skin, hair, eye colour will get darker, noses will be flatter etc.) or not? If yes, due how long time they will adopt?

I doubt there will be too many caucasoid Australians left in the future. Their immigration rates from SE and East Asia is high and from India. And they are the ones having children. I believe that there is currently a high rate of caucasoid/SE and East Asian mongoloid couplings and mixed offspring. I would say they will be a brownish color similar to that of the NZ Maori in the future and the UV will just make them browner. The southern parts of Australia are temperate and the Australian mountains do get snow in winter.

I don't know how valid is the assumption that the hotter the climate, the more the nasal base is gutted, the aperture flaring, and the root/nasal spine(?) depressed. Most of the African-like nasal complex seems to be associated with people who kept the original morphology because they never left the tropics. Also, change only occurs when there is selection. Modern technology (sun lotions, medical advances, clothing and hats) protect against death (selection) and discourages selection (not hunting in the sun, supporting huge populations independent of environment. What does immigration have to do with the topic? Frankly, it's the aborigines who are really endangered. I wouldn't mind if all subsequent people moved back to their homelands. Excellent point about selection. |

I am living in Australia at this time and will continue to do so until I leave in about five years. Australia was once totally occupied by Australoids, barring some minor mixing with Molluccans in the north, up until 1788. After that time it became a NW European caucasoid country with the indigenes becoming a tiny minority in their homeland. Since the the late 1940s, Australia has taken in mainland European immigrants to such an extent that the Anglo-Keltic nature of the people had dwindled from >95% to about 70%. Since the 1980s most immigrants are mongoloids from SE and NE Asia. Those mongoloids are the growing population and will overtake the earlier races and completely alter the racial nature of the Australian population. So immigration in a country like Australia which existed as a nation only from 1901 has completely altered its racial and ethnic composition and will continue to do so in future. zemelmete's question regarding the phenotype of caucasoid Australians in the future is valid as is my reply that it is unlikely that there will be any unmixed Australians in the future due to current rates of mongoloid immigration and interracial intimate relationships. |
