Antrophology of human races of Middle-earth

[Blondie]

Lossoth, or the Snowmen of Forochel:



They are probably Finno-Ugrians like finns, sami and karelians. Subraces: Nordid, Lappid

Angmarim:



Humans who lived in Angmar, mix of Black Numenoreans and Wildmen. Overwhelming majority of them died during Angmar Wars. Subraces: Nordid, Subnordid, East Europid, Gorid

Dúnedain or Numenoreans:



According to Tolkien they were superior humans from Numenor who lived mostly in Arnor and Gondor. Subraces: Nordid, Atlantid

Black Numenoreans:



"Aryans" from Numenor who mixed with Haradrim and other inferior human races, their most important fortress was Umbar. Subraces: Proto-Nordid, Iranid, Armenoid. My personal opinion: iranians, kurds and afghans are all black numenorean.

Easterlings:



Group of peoples who lived in East, they have many tribe and kingdom. Subraces: Turanid, Iranid, Irano-Afghan, Turkish

Gondorians:



Gondor is very similar to Italy and Greece, it was the most important kingdom of good humans. Subraces: Atlantid, Alpinid, Med.

Rohirrim:



According to Tolkien, they came from North. They are similar to Goths, Vandals, Gepids and other nomad germanic tribes. Subraces: every type of Nordid

Harardim:



Evil arabic warriors from the southern desert, servants of Sauron. Subraces: Orientalid, Iranid

Dunlendings:



Wildmen of Dunland, i think they are similar to ancient wild tribes like thracians, dacians. Subraces: Alpinid, Dinarid, Med

Men of Dale and peoples of Rhovanion:



I think they are similar to slavs, who lived in huge woodlands in the past. Subraces: East Europid, Nordid, Alpinid

I WAS PLANNING TO DO IT ONE DAY!!!!

Another interesting thread would be "place me in Middle Earth"

[Freeroostah]

I would actually place Numenoreans as Atlantid ( Tall men with dark hair and light eyes) = Atlanteans

Some highlights
Dunedain = Greco-Romans
Gondor = Byzantine Empire
Arnor = Western Roman Empire but also Frankish Empire (the partition of Arnor reminds me of the post Charlemagne Era Francia)
Haradrim = Afro-Asiatic peoples (MENA)
Easterlings = Turkic-Iranic nomads

If Elves were Greek
Noldorin Elves = Mind of a Philosopher/Body of a Warrior = Doric Tribe but also some hints of Athenians
Teleri Elves = Seafarers = Ionic Tribe
Silvan Elves = Common native Greeks/Pre-Greeks = Aeolic/Pelasgian stock
Avari Elves = Lost Greek societies who never show the Light of Apollo

I guess there are not many LOTR nerds on TA

I'm a huge fan of Tolkien's world,but I like "Silmarillion" more than LOTR

[Smeagol]

Tolkien never said Black Numenorians mixed with the Haradrim or other lesser races, they just ruled over them. By the way the Haradrim themselves were divided into Near Haradrim who were described as MENA like and Far Haradrim who seemed to be niggers (black men with faces like half trolls). Saruman of many colors was a Jewish multiculturalist.

Agreed. North Atlantids

I think the Haradrim were closer to Indians than Arabs considering how they looked and the fact they had elephants

[Regnera]

I don't think Tolkien was a racialist,in fact Tolkien had said that he didn't like people try to find some political inspiration of his work
