 What is Race?
The idea that there exist three races, and that these races are "Caucasoid," "Negroid," and "Mongoloid," is rooted in the European imagination of the Middle Ages, which encompassed only Europe, Africa, and the Near East..
It is clear that even though race does not have a biological meaning, it does have a social meaning which has been legally constructed.
The notion that humankind can be divided along White, Black, and Yellow lines reveals the social rather than the scientific origin of race.

 AMPP: Racism
Some members of the Caucasoid race aren't very white-skinned (the Aryans, for example, are often dark-skinned Caucasoids from Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India), and many of the Jews are as pale as Swedes.
The disruption of Caucasoid people is sometimes very evil in character: all the great mystic faiths surviving either directly or through syncretism are the inventions of Caucasoid individuals - Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, all evil to varying degrees and all invented by Caucasoids.
In the Kamchatka peninsula and the Americas, Mongoloid is mostly dominant, but Australoid and Caucasoid both contribute (the Ainu are a notable exception in that Caucasoid is dominant in that population).

It is because Caucasoid is a human subspecies (not _a_ race), and the Northern European race is a human _race_.
Whereas 'Northern European' conveys the notions of to-day's nation-states: Norway, Sweden and Denmark, 'Caucasoid from Northern Europe' stands for a race not a nation-state, ie a figment of imagination.
Besides, Northern Europeans are the most sexually uninhibited of all human races.

 Caucasian, Caucasoid. The Columbia Guide to Standard American English. 1993
The better course for most of us is to keep both terms in use in their specific senses, and when we mean to designate “the white race or white ethnic groups,” to say just that.
Anthropologists also use the term Caucasoid to apply in a technical sense to a very widely distributed ethnic group characterized by relatively light-colored hair and skin.
Unfortunately, Caucasian has come to have one sense essentially meaning “Caucasoid,” yet obviously the Caucasus can’t hold all the world’s Caucasoids, nor is it probable that all Caucasoids originated there.

 Race, genetics, and human reproductive strategies
In humans, the three major races--Mongoloids (commonly "Asians"), Caucasoids (commonly "Whites"), and Negroids (commonly "Blacks")--can be distinguished on the basis of obvious differences in skeletal morphology, hair and facial features, and molecular genetic information.
Caucasoid populations in North America, Europe, and Australasia had average IQs ranging from 85 to 115, with an overall mean of about 100.
As the original "out-of-Africa" populations evolved into present-day Caucasoids and Mongoloids, they developed larger brains, slower rates of maturation, and lower levels of sex hormone, and with these changes came reductions in sexual potency, aggressiveness, and impulsivity and increases in family stability, forward planning, self-control, rule-following, and longevity.

 Caucasoid, Negroid and Mongoloid - EgyptSearch Forums
E3b, of course, is associated with the Caucasoid populations of North Africa, West Asia and Europe, and the hybrid populations of East Africa.
Hence, your position of ascribing assumed taxonomies such as "Negroid" and "Caucasoid" and "Caucasoid" to genotypes such as E3a and E3b are inconsistent with your general racial construct.
This illustrates an inconsistency even in biological usage not found in scientific or sociopolitical practice: for example, how often are the Old Order Amish referred to as a 'race' in recent scientific literature?

 Caucasian race - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The concept of Caucasian race and its stated or implied superiority over other races was often used as a moral excuse for colonialism by Western European countries, in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Nordicism, the belief that the blond Nordic sub-division constitutes a "master race", was influential in Northern Europe and the United States during the early twentieth century, eventually becoming the official ideology of the Nazi state.
His studies based the classification of the Caucasian race primarily on skull features, which Blumenbach claimed were optimized by the Georgians, a people living in the Southern Caucasus.

 Dravidian people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geneticist Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza maintained in his book The History and Geography of Human Genes that the proto-Dravidians of the Indian subcontinent were a Caucasoid people, preceded by an Australoid-type people whose linguistic origins remain unknown, and followed by Indo-European-speaking migrants sometime later.
The term arose from assumptions by nineteenth century Western scholars that Dravidian speakers were earlier inhabitants of India than the speakers of the Indo-Aryan languages in the north of the country.
The Dravidians and South Indians have been in some respects the best preservers of ancient Vedic culture and traditions, especially when the north of India was dominated by Buddhism and later was affected by Islam.

The accurate conception he subsumes under the heading of "Races as Breeding Populations with Fuzzy Boundaries", and insofar as the white-black or black-white continuum is concerned, provides some figures on "the proportion of Caucasoid genes [in] the black gene pool" (p.
Jensen pays lip-service to the notion of "fuzzy boundaries" between races but faced with the black-white spectrum, he assigns anybody who can be located to any degree along such a continuum to his "black" sample, reserving "white" for whoever cannot be located on it through lack of evidence of any African ancestry.
What invalidates Jensen's testing of his hypothesis is not so much that for his two sample populations he sometimes relies on an accurate definition of race, sometimes on an inaccurate one, but that their definition depends on two separate senses of the same word.

The Jews are a pseudorace (not a true race), but with Arabs, Turks, and Armenians, they constitute a distinct subrace within the Caucasoid race in the same way that the Slavic population does.
Some members of the Caucasoid race aren't very white-skinned (the Aryans, for example, are often dark-skinned Caucasoids from Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India), and many of the Jews are as pale as Swedes.
They note that the ASPM allele emerged about the same time as the spread of agriculture in the Middle East 10,000 years ago and the emergence of the civilizations of the Middle East some 5,000 years ago, but say that any connection is not yet clear.

 Dienekes' Anthropology Blog: Dissection of Y-chromosome haplogroups N and Q
In conclusion, the genetic data seems to support the multidimensional craniometric view of Uralics as a race of their own which also shows signs of hybridization with Caucasoids and Mongoloids on a West-East axis.
The Uralic race has been thought to be either the result of admixture of Caucasoids with Mongoloids, or a race of its own which has also undergone admixture with the two major Eurasian races.
The Selkups have a frequency of Caucasoid haplogroups (R1b+R1a=25.2%) plus 6.9% of haplogroup N. Therefore in their case, their "Uralic"-type of appearance is probably the result of admixture between Caucasoids, a hint of "real" Uralics, and Q-haplogroup Mongoloids.

 Kennewick Man
Kennewick Man, in short, is not an Amerind, but a representative of the eastern branch of the early White or Proto-Caucasoid race.
This explains why the Kennewick Man, Stick Man and other pre-Amerind North American relatives (as well as the Ainu of Japan) give an initial impression of being Caucasoid, since Whites are generally closer to the pre-split (and pre-Mongoloid) northern prototype, than are the Orientals who have diverged more strongly from it.
Despite such obscurantist contortions, it is ridiculous to view the branch represented by Kennewick Man as somehow belonging to American Indians or as not being Caucasoid-like.

 Apologetics Press - The Origin of Races
Currently there are three or four major “races” of humans, as the word race is commonly defined: (a) Australoid; (b) Caucasoid; (c) Mongoloid; and (d) Negroid.
Generally speaking, the Australoids are considered a subgroup of the Caucasoids, simply because the two groups have so many features in common, despite the fact that Australoids possess dark skin (the Australoid group is often known as the Australian Aboriginal Group).
It is interesting to note that these races are distributed around the globe throughout over 100 nations, and speak 3,000+ tribal languages and dialects.

 The Races of Humanity
Racial clines of more recent formation, where the racial blends are not yet stabilized, include the populations of many Latin American and Caribbean countries, which were created over the last 500 years by the intermixture of various Caucasoid (mostly Mediterranid), Congoid and Amerindian elements.
In the system of racial classification outlined below the names assigned to the various subspecies and races are, with a few exceptions, based on geographical regions that are, or presumably were, at or near the center of their area of evolutionary development and origin.
These racial borderlands are frequently areas of interracial contact and intermixture where adjacent races merge into one another, creating racially mixed or hybridized populations of intermediate type called racial clines.
