In the lowlands of [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkestan Turkestan] the Andites made the westward turning around the inland lakes into [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe Europe], while from the highlands of this region they infiltrated eastward. Eastern Turkestan ([http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinkiang Sinkiang]) and, to a lesser extent, [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibet Tibet] were the [[ancient]] gateways through which these peoples of [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia] penetrated the [[mountains]] to the northern lands of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:6._THE_SIX_SANGIK_RACES_OF_URANTIA yellow men]. The [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:4._THE_ANDITES Andite] infiltration of [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India India] proceeded from the Turkestan highlands into the [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punjab Punjab] and from the Iranian grazing lands through [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baluchistan Baluchistan].

79:1.2 For almost fifteen thousand years centers of mixed [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:4._THE_ANDITES Andite culture] persisted in the basin of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarim_River Tarim River] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinkiang Sinkiang] and to the south in the highland regions of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibet Tibet], where the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:4._THE_ANDITES Andites] and [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:5._DISPERSION_OF_THE_ANDONITES Andonites] had extensively mingled.

79:1.4 When [[climatic]] conditions made [[hunting]] unprofitable for the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:5._THE_ANDITE_MIGRATIONS migrating Andites], they did not follow the [[evolutionary]] [[course]] of the older races by becoming herders.

79:1.6 Increasing [[aridity]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Asia central Asia] further operated to reduce [[population]] and to render these people less warlike; and when the diminishing rainfall to the north forced the [[nomadic]] [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:5._DISPERSION_OF_THE_ANDONITES Andonites] southward, there was a tremendous [[exodus]] of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:5._THE_ANDITE_MIGRATIONS Andites] from [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkestan Turkestan].

79:1.7 Thus, while they [[dispersed]] over the Eastern Hemisphere, the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:4._THE_ANDITES Andites] were dispossessed of their homelands in [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia] and [http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkestan Turkestan], for it was this extensive southward movement of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:5._DISPERSION_OF_THE_ANDONITES Andonites] that diluted the Andites in central Asia nearly to the vanishing point.

And today in China there is a definite [[difference]] between the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_China northern and southern races].

79:6.7 1. ''Genetic''. Unlike their blue cousins in [https://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe Europe], both the red and yellow races had largely [[escaped]] mixture with debased human stocks. The northern [[Chinese]], already strengthened by small amounts of the superior red and [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_63#63:4._THE_ANDONIC_CLANS Andonic] strains, were soon to benefit by a considerable influx of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:4._THE_ANDITES Andite] blood. The southern Chinese did not fare so well in this regard, and they had long suffered from ''absorption'' of the green race, while later on they were to be further weakened by the infiltration of the swarms of inferior peoples crowded out of [https://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India India] by the [https://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dravidian Dravidian]-[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:5._THE_ANDITE_MIGRATIONS Andite invasion]. And today in China there is a definite [[difference]] between the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_China northern and southern races].

79:6.8 2. ''Social''. The yellow race early [[learned]] the [[value]] of [[peace]] among themselves. Their internal peaceableness so [[contributed]] to [[population]] increase as to insure the spread of their [[civilization]] among many millions. From [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_china#Paleolithic 25,000 to 5000 B.C.] the highest mass [[civilization]] on [[Urantia]] was in central and northern China. The yellow man was first to [[achieve]] a racial [[solidarity]]—the first to attain a large-scale [[cultural]], [[social]], and [[political]] [[civilization]].

79:6.9 The [[Chinese]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_china#Neolithic 15,000 B.C.] were aggressive [[Warrior|militarists]]; they had not been weakened by an overreverence for the past, and numbering less than twelve million, they formed a compact [[body]] speaking a common [[language]]. During this age they built up a real [[nation]], much more united and [[homogeneous]] than their [[political]] [[unions]] of historic times.

During the age of [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:5._THE_ANDITE_MIGRATIONS Andite migrations] the [[Chinese]] were among the more [[spiritual]] peoples of [[earth]].

The [[stimulus]] of a [[progressive]] and advanced [[religion]] is often a decisive [[factor]] in [[cultural]] [[development]]; as India languished, so China forged ahead under the invigorating [[stimulus]] of a [[religion]] in which [[truth]] was enshrined as the [[supreme]] [[Deity]].

79:6.11 This [[worship]] of [[truth]] was provocative of [[research]] and fearless [[exploration]] of the [[laws]] of [[nature]] and the [[potentials]] of [[mankind]]. The [[Chinese]] of even six thousand years ago were still keen [[students]] and aggressive in their pursuit of [[truth]].

79:6.12 4. ''Geographic''. China is protected by the [[mountains]] to the west and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_ocean Pacific] to the east. Only in the north is the way open to [[attack]], and from the days of the red man to the coming of the later descendants of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:5._THE_ANDITE_MIGRATIONS Andites], the north was not occupied by any aggressive race.
