- frandroid 10y agoSyria is next to Turkey (which is itself populated by a lot of Central Asians; Turkmen are not native of Turkey), which is next to Europe. These two countries and Lebanon are on the morphological boundary between "Europeans" and "Arabs". (This is a gross simplification.)
- casualstroller 10y agoYou have no clue what you're talking about. To begin with, Slavs != "slaves". Learn the etymology of the word and read up on some history: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavs https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavs Once you're done, use Wikipea or Google to look for Indo-Iranians, their physical characteristics and their movement from 4000-1000 BCE ((TL;DR blue-eyed people didn't originate in Europe). Good luck.

- boomlinde 10y agoMaybe review the etymology of the word "slave" before you jump to conclusions about GP's cluelessness.
- myth_drannon 10y agoOrigin of the word Slave : "The term slave has its origins in the word slav. The slavs, who inhabited a large part of Eastern Europe, were taken as slaves by the Muslims of Spain during the ninth century AD."
