In order for this article to be substantiated, let's look into the past, into the theory of racial inequality from its founder Hans Gunther, and then, from it follow to simple logical path.
In order to avoid any reason for various manipulations sending of wishful thinking, once again a constactable fact is that - The theory of the inequality of races, the ability of races to develop, work and, conversely, the tendency to degradation, as well as some other aspects of the genesis of civilization, taking into account the analytical and evaluative nature, was developed by the German anthropologist and racial theorist Hans Gunther.
His racial, etnishgroup theory identifies the main types of people by distinctive anthropological features - cranial index, body proportions, face, absolute size and pigmentation (hair, eye, skin color). Each type is attributed with certain mental and intellectual qualities. There is nothing about a Slavs there.
Here are the main types of racias:
- Nordic type
Tall dolichocephals. Narrow long face, hair color varies from blond to dark blond, blue, gray or yellow eyes, narrow long nose, angular protruding chin. Common in Northern Germany and Holland, Latvia, Scandinavia, East Anglia, Northern Poland, Northwestern Russia, as well as along the entire Baltic coast, except for the northern one. Characterized as reasonable, fair, calculating, prudent, cold, often cruel people. In terms of mental giftedness, they are ranked first.
- East Baltic type
Brachycephalic people of short or medium height, with a broad, stocky build. A broad face, grey-yellow or grey-brown hair, grey or blue eyes, a relatively wide short nose. Common in the East Slavic, Baltic, and northern Finno-Ugric countries. They are characterized as hospitable, patient people with a good imagination, quick mood swings, who do not value money and are incapable of making decisions. In terms of mental giftedness, they are ranked approximately third.
- Western (Mediterranean) type
Short dolichocephals, slender graceful build. Similar in proportions to the Nordic type. Dark hair and eyes, darkish skin. Common in Spain, Italy, less common in France, Ireland. Characterized as very emotional, cheerful, frivolous people, slightly prone to cruelty and laziness. In terms of mental giftedness, they are ranked fifth.
- Eastern type or Alpine.
Short brachycephalic, stocky build, prone to obesity. Wide, round face, dark hair and eyes, wide and short nose. Widespread everywhere, especially in Scandinavia, Spain, France, West Slavic countries, but do not make up the majority anywhere. Characterized as calm, peace-loving, withdrawn, self-sufficient, thrifty, prone to greed and led people. In terms of mental giftedness, they are ranked fourth.
and so on...
And here is what relates to the justified definition of the word Slavs as a definition of the understanding of this word:
The derivation of the word slave encapsulates a bit of European history and explains why the two words slaves and Slavs are so similar; they are, in fact, historically identical. The word slave first appears in English around 1290, spelled sclave. The spelling is based on Old French esclave from Medieval Latin sclavus, "Slav, slave," first recorded around 800. Sclavus comes from Byzantine Greek sklabos (pronounced sklävs) "Slav," which appears around 580. Sklavos approximates the Slavs' own name for themselves, the Slovnci, surviving in English Slovene and Slovenian. The spelling of English slave, closer to its original Slavic form, first appears in English in 1538. Slavs became slaves around the beginning of the ninth century when the Holy Roman Empire tried to stabilize a German-Slav frontier. By the 12th century stabilization had given way to wars of expansion and extermination that did not end until the Poles crushed the Teutonic Knights at Grunwald in 1410. · As far as the Slavs' own self-designation goes, its meaning is, understandably, better than "slave"; it comes from the Indo-European root *kleu-, whose basic meaning is "to hear" and occurs in many derivatives meaning "renown, fame." The Slavs are thus "the famous people." Slavic names ending in -slav incorporate the same word, such as Czech Bohu-slav, "God's fame," Russian Msti-slav, "vengeful fame," and Polish Stani-slaw, "famous for withstanding (enemies)."
And in conclusion, as a convincing argument for proishozhdeniya and understanding of the word Slovyane, we will trace such a thought - by analyzing letopisey, roniki, sagam, tale, the Rurikovichs did not consider themselves Slavs, and their own genetic origin as and others of the Russian great princes was indicated from the Roman emperor Augustus, from the legandary Prus from Bithynia. While the assigned or attached, belonging them souls were designated as slaves or slavs.
