Taylor wrote many books about the effects of the environment in shaping race. He also wrote extensively about migration of the races. Taylor saw theories that explained the genealogy of races as beginning in Africa and then expanding out through the world and evolving in positive ways as antiquated thinking from the 19th century. In his 1937 book Environment, Race, and Migration, Taylor outlines a theory that the "Mongolian" race is the race truest to their past in the hearth of modern humans: Central Asia. Australoid and Negroid races were the first to branch off during humanity's evolution from the Neanderthal and were racially adapted to live in the world's margins. The Negrito race was never related to Neanderthals, and were thus likely developed more directly from apes. "During the million years of Post-Pliocene" time, humans were forced to migrate during four major migrations related to the expansion of the "Great Ice Sheet." As humans moved to different areas of the world they adapted to the environment they encountered.

Taylor openly disagrees with Wegener's theory of Continental Drift, writing that the human races evidently migrated into world's regions separately and over time. They moved out over the world, the world didn't move them. (Note: this was written in a period before knowledge of plate tectonics). Taylor links skin pigment to temperature and collects extensive data from the period on geology, topology, meteorology, and anthropology. Taylor saw geography in a synthesising role between explanations of the physical world and the diffusion and evolution of the human species.

Answer 2

Taylor’s Migration Zone Theory is founded on his study of diffusion of populace from the cradle land of Central Asia, which lies near the Aral and Caspian seas.

EXPLANATION:

Taylor’s Migration Zone Theory is founded on the study of diffusion of populace from the cradle land of Central Asia, which lies near the Aral and Caspian seas. Accordingly, the earliest settlers were born in this cradle land and with the emergence of later races in this area the former migrated towards the periphery area forming the bordering fringe of the central core.

In this hierarchy, first the Negrito evolved who were compelled to migrate towards the boundary by the Negro who evolved afterwards. Later Australiod evolved, who compelled the former two (Negrito and Negro) to migrate towards the marginal fringe. Like this several races were evolved and migrated all over the globe.

To support his theory, Taylor had made the following suggestions: there has been a centrifugal movement of populace from Central Asia to its nearby peninsulas, for example, Australia, Americas, and Eurafrica. There are many racial zones in each continent that is primitive insofar as we move away from Central Asia, which provide a clear confirmations of consecutive migrations of people in every continent.

Primitive races are found in the bordering area, for example, Negritoes are found in Tanzania, Brazil, Green Land, and Cape Colony. This demonstrate the consecutive migration of Negrito people to the bordering areas of the world
