The question, what character the Slavs possessed, is still being asked by many ordinary people and researchers. It is interesting to understand what exactly the modern generation has adopted from their ancestors and what character traits can be called native Russian. Well-known scientists have already published a huge number of works and monographs, studying which you can get a very detailed idea of what the ancient Slav was.
Studies conducted at different times by various scientists have shown that a common series of traits: skin color, eye shape, skull shape and others - are transmitted along the chain from one generation to another race. As a result, a certain image has developed over the centuries, which differs only in details from earlier ones. At the same time, the community of features of the nation is preserved.
As a result of such studies, it was determined why and what is the mechanism of conservation, for example, by African Americans of dark skin, Asians - a specific section of the eyes, Slavs - the color of hair and common features.
However, the greatest interest among scientists was caused by the discovery that not only physical signs can be transmitted "by inheritance." Also, new generations have similar character traits with their ancestors. As a result, it is possible to make a characterization of the nation and psychological characteristics.
What traits of ancient Slavs possessed
Russian scientists, naturally, set about studying their Slavic roots. As a result, it became clear that the population of the Slavic tribes at the dawn of the era was distinguished by their peacefulness and hospitality. In addition, the ancient Slavs loved and knew how to work, respected family virtues and much more. On the other hand, the ancestors of modern Russians were considered idealists, periodically supported Slavic strife and had an indecisive character.
Perhaps, precisely because of such inconsistency, the appearance of Russians on the world stage, even in those days, became a startling event. Scientists claim that the Slav was able to give mankind his ardent genius.
Under the influence of which these features of a Slavic character took shape, scientists could not find out. However, they tried to deduce two factors that had this effect. Firstly, this is the anthropological composition of the tribe. Secondly, the external nature, in the bosom of which the Slavic population lived. It is believed that the difficult conditions in which the ancient Slavs lived made them so hardworking, because it would be simply impossible to survive without labor.
The external nature, which does not give the Slavs affection, warmth or any pleasant impressions, made the population go deeper into themselves and seek harmony within. Hence the tendency to deep analysis, incl. and moral.
