Biology:Caspian race

From HandWiki
Short description: Obsolete race concept

The Caspian race was a supposed sub-race of the Caucasian race in the context of a now-outdated model of dividing humanity into different races which was developed originally by Europeans in support of colonialism.[1] The term is used by M. G. Abdushelishvili (1979) as constituting a branch of the Mediterranean race or Irano-Afghan race.[2] In Soviet-era anthropology, the term was used to include Tats and Azerbaijanis.[3]

The phenotype has been said to be prevalent among the Azerbaijanis,[4][5][6] Kumyks and Tsakhurs.[7][8] Genrietta Leonidovna Khit states that as a form of racial admixture the Caspian subtype is represented among Turkmens and Talyshs.[2][9]

"AAPA Statement on Race and Racism". https://physanth.org/about/position-statements/aapa-statement-race-and-racism-2019/. "Instead, the Western concept of race must be understood as a classification system that emerged from, and in support of, European colonialism, oppression, and discrimination."
