'''Caucasoid''' is a technical term used in [[anthropology]], [[archaeology]], and [[genetics]] to describe the general physical type of people today indigenous to [[Europe]], [[Southwest Asia]], [[South Asia]] and parts of [[North Africa]], whether considered to be merely a [[phenotype]], or a [[genotype]]. |
