I want to know the answer to the following question:
What have human groups always considered themselves as compared to other nearby groups?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In this way the idea of race as we understand it today came about during the historical process of exploration and conquest which brought Europeans into contact with groups from different continents, and of the ideology of classification and typology found in the natural sciences.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
