I am trying to understand the world of eve and would like to know more about the races of eve. There seems to be only mentions of ancestory of the Gallentians and Amarr. They are all a little vague.
I would like anyone who knows anything about the Intaki, the Mannar, The Minmitars or Caldari to please give me some theorys as to there original ancestory, whether it be Asian or European of some kind.
All there seems to be is that the Amarrian Religion is a twisted form of catholicism and not much about the people themselves. The Intakis are probably the most ignored people of eve as nothing is even hinted about as to there origins or there history.
If any body has any theorys as to the origins of any of the peoples of EVE please feel free to post them. I would like to hear them.

Thanks for the help on this, but I have a theory on The Intaki. I beleive the Intaki to be descended from either Indian or other middle eastern origins.
I would like for some opinions on this from the rest of you as well.

Ok, I would still like any comments on the previous reply i made but i thought I should bring this up as well. It makes sense that over time isolated human populations would develop different languages and cultures, but from what I understand the world is as we know it is shrinking. Cultural and racial differences in society are slowly dissipating.
That being said I beleive it would be best to describe the Races of eve as mixtures of Earth races and Racial subclasses with particular traits of each showing more in one than the other.
We all know that People of African decent have dark skin due to a hot and Sunny climate, therefore wouldnt it be feasable to beleive that the minmitar could very well have been decended from Europeans, but centurys of living on a hot and sunny matar forced genetic adaptations that suited there climate? As well as not every Minmitar group being of darker complexion either.
Not to mention the Racial and Genetic history of the Amarr are a mystery as well as noone knows who was living on the Amarrian homeworld when the "reformists" came there and spread there beleifs.
The Caldari with there asian-ish solar system names is hardly a cause to assume they are of Asian decent as It could very well be that the Caldari Language is some hybrid of linguistical heritage that is not neccesarily of any Asian origin.
The Gallentians are somewhat puzzling to me as the NPC names of the Agents are French and some of there words are of Actuall french language.
These are all plausible theories, But I beleive the best In-character stance is to assume that noone knows who built the EVE gate and some dont even know its purpose.
So when you give that Caldari a Japanese name or that Amarrian a Latin name please remember that you could be wrong, and ccp lets the story of EVE drip to us in little bits and pieces and we all could be wrong about everyone.

Im here to discuss the topic of where the individual races and bloodlines came from. As long as the posts are near that subject then say as you please.
I am simply wishing to hear theories on where people think the obscure races may have came from. Perhaps opening the discussion to what could be going on, on Earth might make it an interesting topic too.

Ok, to explaim the time it takes for a people to adjust to differnt climates and cultural effects too.
America was founded by Englishmen, they colinized the greater portion of north America. Over about 300 years those colonists lost the English "accent" and due to warmer climates the Average American of european decent is slightly taller than that of the European.
Therefore I beleive it to be possible for physical characteristics of a group to vastly change in merely thousands of years. When you add differnt planetary climates it could very well have increased the adaptation to the diffrent CLimates, whether it be Temperature, Gravity, and diet.

Well as the author of this little thread im happy to see it creep up again. Now to add my two cents here.
Please keep your political biases towards another countrys policies or history to yourselves. I don't claim to know anything about the prime minister of Australia so don't try and tell others what they think they know about America's president, or France's President. It's not realy an appropriate thing to sit on a high horse and bad mouth a Nation when you don't live there nor know anything about its people and government and History.
Suffice to say its in bad taste to sneak your opinions of another nations politics in a thread not meant for it. So please keep it out of here.
That said. I believe the recent news article regarding the Idama strengthens my beleif that the Intaki are of Indian/Middle eastern influence. Whether this influence is cultural, Racial or whatever.
Also with the new bloodlines, I think its hard to put the Amarr in any category, as I realy dont think they came from one race. Theyre language and culture may be latin but realy its hard to tell on the Amarrs. Perhaps if they ever show us what a Udorian looks like and some in depth PF on the Amarrians before the conquered there homeworld will we ever know.
