Trying to step lightly here; just read in Wiki that "accepted modern terms include "mixed" and "biracial".
I'm old enough that the terms mulatto and quadroon come to mind.
Saw "The Croods" for the second time today; loved it so much last week that I came back for a 3D viewing.
Back to Eep.
She has freckles and deep red hair. It's a look I've seen many time. It's beautiful.
Also a bit curious. What were the artists thinking? Eep is obviously her mother's daughter.
As far as I know, red hair is a sure indicator that she was a Neanderthal. Her body seems to confirm that, as well as the fact that she and her family were less evolved than the boy (forgot his name), who, I am guessing, is a Cro-Magnon.
sharelol the boy's name is guy, you were close :P
"Bitch, I don't know your life!"
What on earth makes you think that "Guy" was a Cro-Magnon? Wouldn't it make more sense, especially in light of his name, that he was one of the first homo sapiens?

Indeed, and Neanderthals were also homo sapiens. (aka Homo sapiens neanderthalensis)

No, that terminology has gone out of favour.
shareWhy? Recent genetic studies have shown that all non-African Blacks have Neanderthal ancestry ranging from 1-4%. If we can breed fertile offsprings with Neanderthals, then they're Homo Sapiens. We are Homo sapiens sapiens like Guy who is probably a Cro Magnon.

Non-African blacks O_o?
Firstly, those studies aren't recent, secondly, only a minority of people actually agree with their findings. We share a common ancestor, we were related to them, but it hasn't been proven that they bred with cro-magnon.
The Black people of the Pacific and Asia are non African Blacks, yhey are collectively called Australoids. In studies of Neanderthal introgression, Blacks from America and all Blacks with Neanderthal ancestry are considered non African for the study (because there was a non African element in them). Those in the Pacific and Australia also have Denisovan ancestry, aside from Neanderthal ancestry. The commonly shared ancestry with Neanderthal shows up in African Blacks, but the extra Neanderthal introgression seen only in non Africans shows that modern humans bred with Neanderthals when they left Africa. This are all recent studies, almost every month there's a new one on it. Homo sapiens sapiens bred with Neanderthals, if we can have fertile offsprings with them, evidenced by all of us being here, then we are the same species as them and Denisovans.
Ps. We got Denisovan genes via Neanderthals breeding with Denisovans, it isn't due to direct mating between us and Denisovans.

Actually, E Asian males with non E Asian females have trouble producing offsprings unlike the reverse gender coupling. It's because non E Asian females produce antibodies that attack the fetus. They can produce a healthy fertile first child with difficulty, but after, the mother's anti bodies will prevent the 2nd or succeeding children to be born. Of course now, with the advances of medicine, I believe they have medicines to prevent this.
But as for Neanderthal ancestry, I always wondered since Neanderthals were much stronger than us, if the Neanderthal male/modern human female preference was due to Neanderthals forcing themselves on the women rather than an agreed coupling. Also wasn't it shown that the gene flow was one way? We have Neanderthal ancestry but so far, Neanderthals did not show any modern human ancestry. It made me think that some of our female ancestors were raped instead and the resulting children were raised in our community rather than their's.

yea but you don't use mulatto or quadroon today. they were terms used by the government and law to segregate mixed people and determine what rights we could have based on a percentage of whiteness. i don't care if you're old enough to know them.
i am not mulatto or quadroon, i am mixed and biracial.
I didn't realise mulatto was archaic or that there was a negative history to it. I hear mulatto often in the US; especially in New England..was wondering where you're from and whether or not you find it an insensitive term..? (On a separate note, I have never, ever heard the term "quadroon" until this thread).

"That's pretty dangerous; building a road in the middle of the street."
They were terms used to denote your value to masters and in auctions it was how they would price you by how much white you had in you. And it would also determine your value to society and how much rights you were allowed, it was on all government forms about you.
it's why we use mixed race now. I come from the UK. But my parents were from the U.S.A.
I had never heard "quadroon" before, either, but I have heard "octoroon," and the explanation of these words relating to percentage / amount of "white blood" makes sense, since "quad" would be 1/4 and "octo" 1/8.
But as to the word "mulatto," yes, it's very archaic and very offensive to some, considering it means "mule." A mule is a hybrid of two different species and they are infertile. I'd be pretty offended at being referred to as a mule or a half-breed, too.
Destroy all that which is evil, so that which is good may flourish.
I'm not sure any of the archaic terms for persons of mixed race would apply to the Crood family. Would Neanderthals even have considered variations in skin color "different" in a world where survival was a major challenge? On the other hand, I wonder why these archaic terms have been deservedly outdated, yet "high yellow" and "yellow" persist since they originated about the same time and place.

Yeah she looks... fabulous.
shareWhatever she is, she's hot!
shareThe way I see, they are not from earth...
.
It's the far, far future...
.
They are in another planet colonized with genetically modified plants and animals to adapt in this new world...
.
Humans came after and for some reason went back to "cavern style" to live... (maybe messing with DNA too much...)
.
That would explain the animals mixed together... the too strong humans, and random appearance of them...
