Caucasoid

Caucasoid

Former racial classification used for any of the light-skinned peoples of the world, one of three theoretical major varieties of humans. The Caucasoid group included the indigenous peoples of Europe, the Near East, North Africa, India, and Australia. They were so named because the German anthropologist J F Blumenbach (1752-1840) theorized that they originated in the Caucasus. See race.
