The Jewish "race" as it were, is an offshoot of the Caucasians that developed in the area now Iraq/Iran.
These are the people that became the ancient Israelites. My dads side of the family fought alongside the Muslims (as many Jews did.. ironically) in the middle ages, when expanding accross North Africa and up into the Iberian peninsula, where they remained until the late 1400's when the inquisition kicked out the Jews. Ended up in Portugese port of Goa in India."I work in IT so I'd be buggered without a computer" - Words of wisdom from Provost Harrison

Azazel: If you are taking the Israelites to mean a people in biblical times, then you are correct. I'm talking antropologically (is that a word? ) and a rough guess would be 10'000-15'000 years (circa end of ice age).
Incidentally, there is evidence that the "Noah's Ark" story has its roots in a catestrophic flood caused when the Med flowed into the Black Sea at the end of the last ice age, about that period. Taken literally, that could mean biblical times."I work in IT so I'd be buggered without a computer" - Words of wisdom from Provost Harrison

Human. My pigmentation level is quite low.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

"Niger" is Latin for "black," of course, but the origins of the name "Niger" for the areas of Africa are thousands of years removed from the word "******," and there's certainly no conscious connection.Tutto nel mondo è burla
