Are the races of color as described in the Urantia Book actual historical races? Were there actually people with orange, green, indigo, and blue skin? If so, what evidence is there outside the Urantia Book that these people existed?

The Evolutionary Races of Color





(718.1)64^:0.1 THIS is the story of the evolutionary races of Urantia from the days of Andon and Fonta, almost one million years ago, down through the times of the Planetary Prince to the end of the ice age.
(718.2)

^64:0.2 The human race is almost one million years old, and the first half of its story roughly corresponds to the pre-Planetary Prince days of Urantia. The latter half of the history of mankind begins at the time of the arrival of the Planetary Prince and the appearance of the six colored races and roughly corresponds to the period commonly regarded as the Old Stone Age.


6. The Six Sangik Races of Urantia


(722.6) ^64:6.1 On an average evolutionary planet the six evolutionary races of color appear one by one; the red man is the first to evolve, and for ages he roams the world before the succeeding colored races make their appearance. The simultaneous emergence of all six races on Urantia, and in one family, was most unusual.

(723.1) ^64:6.2 The appearance of the earlier Andonites on Urantia was also something new in Satania. On no other world in the local system has such a race of will creatures evolved in advance of the evolutionary races of color.




Dispersion of the Colored Races


(726.8) ^64:7.1 When the colored descendants of the Sangik family began to multiply, and as they sought opportunity for expansion into adjacent territory, the fifth glacier, the third of geologic count, was well advanced on its southern drift over Europe and Asia. These early colored races were extraordinarily tested by the rigors and hardships of the glacial age of their origin. This glacier was so extensive in Asia that for thousands of years migration to eastern Asia was cut off. And not until the later retreat of the Mediterranean Sea, consequent upon the elevation of Arabia, was it possible for them to reach Africa.

(726.9) ^64:7.2 Thus it was that for almost one hundred thousand years these Sangik peoples spread out around the foothills and mingled together more or less, notwithstanding the peculiar but natural antipathy which early manifested itself between the different races.

Skeletal remains help indicate a variety of different races. There is a wide variety of skeletal and especially skull remains that point to varying races that are extinct now. Also we have the Yellow and Red men walking around, not in their pure form but you can still get an idea.

This might help answer it Howard, it's an abstract of all the race quotes, but about all nine races:

Quotes on the Races Part 1

Quotes on the Races Part 2

Quotes on the Races Part 3

...The angels of the races. Those who work for the conservation of the evolutionary races of time, regardless of their political entanglements and religious groupings. On Urantia there are remnants of nine human races which have commingled and combined into the people of modern times....P.1255 - 8 (114:6)

I am mostly interested in whatever evidence there is outside the Urantia Book that these races existed.

There is none, now. No doubt it will be forthcoming, as genetic sampling and tracing are perfected.

Howard if you go to u.bthenews they have some good studies on race. They even have some good scientific info in it.

If these are races that existed hundreds of thousands of years ago, I understand why there would be no evidence outside the Urantia Book that they existed.

There's evidence. It's just being covered up. For example: We are taught all humans have the same skeletal structure. However, all current races fit into three different skeletal structures (caucasoid, mongoloid, negroid). Three additional skeltal structures used to exist but have since vanished (went extinct?)
