Durante los siglos XIX y XX, muchos antropólogos occidentales clasificaron a los seres humanos en una variedad de razas y subrazas. De éstos, la raza mediterránea fue dada a un tipo físico y psicológico predominante en el sur de Europa (incluido el sur de Francia), norte de África y Asia occidental, así como en ciertas partes de la Europa oriental, Asia central, Asia del sur, las islas británicas o Alemania.[1][2][3][4][5][6]​ Caracterizados por tener una piel blanca rosácea o bronceada, o también considerados como morenos, o sea, color de piel diferente a la de los nórdicos, estatura baja, mediana o alta, y en mayoría de cabello y ojos oscuros.

Este modelo fue definido en el libro de Wiliam Ripley "The Races of Europe" (1899), donde propusieron tres categorías europeas: Teutónica (más adelante llamada nórdica), mediterránea y alpina. La raza mediterránea sería responsable de grandes civilizaciones de la antigüedad como Roma, Grecia, Mesopotamia, Egipto, Cartago, India o Persia.[7]

Esta raza era considerada como una de las superiores de la "subespecie" caucasoide y una de las más populares del continente europeo, pero fue una de las razas más discutidas junto con los nórdicos, porque su apariencia física era muy parecida a la de los nórdicos en ciertos aspectos. Ambos grupos, por ejemplo, se consideraban dolicocéfalos.
