Caucasoids

A Dictionary of World History | 2000 | 455 words | Copyright

Caucasoids The fair-skinned ‘European’ people, named after the Caucasus Mountains between the Black and Caspian seas. They occupy Europe, Africa as far south as the Sahara, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent; in the past five centuries they have spread world-wide. In parts of Central Asia they were replaced in historic times by MONGOLOIDS. There was always admixture with, and incomplete differentiation from, neighbouring races.
