Because of the inconsistencies in the old three-part system (Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid), Coon adopted a five-part scheme. He defined "Caucasoid" as a pattern of skull measurements and other phenotypical characteristics typical of populations in Europe , Central Asia , South Asia , West Asia , North Africa , and Northeast Africa ( Ethiopia ...
The term "Proto-Australoid" was used by Roland Burrage Dixon in his Racial History of Man (1923). In The Origin of Races (1962), Carleton Coon expounded his system of five races (Australoid, Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Congoid and Capoid) with separate origins. Based on such evidence as claiming Australoids had the largest, megadont teeth, this group ...
Illustration of Negroid, Caucasoid, and Mongoloid skulls shown from above (Samuel George Morton, 1839) As historian Edith Sanders writes, "Perhaps because slavery was both still legal and profitable in the United States ... there arose an American school of anthropology which attempted to prove scientifically that the Egyptian was a Caucasian ...
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, anthropologists used a typological model to divide people from different ethnic regions into races, (e.g. the Negroid race, the Caucasoid race, the Mongoloid race, the Australoid race, and the Capoid race which was the racial classification system as defined in 1962 by Carleton S. Coon). [1]
Rushton argues that Mongoloid, Caucasoid and Negroid populations fall consistently into the same one-two-three way pattern when compared on a list of sixty distinctly different behavioral and anatomical traits and variables. [6] Rushton uses averages of hundreds of studies, modern and historical, to assert the existence of this pattern.
His teachings in comparative anatomy were applied to his classification of human races, of which he claimed there were five, Caucasian, Mongolian, Malayan, Ethiopian, and American. [5] He was a member of what modern historians call the Göttingen school of history. He is considered a pivotal figure in the development of physical anthropology. [4]
Negroid, caucasoid, and mongoloid are based on all kinds of characteristics, not just the shape of the skull and face. In fact the term Negroid was meant to refer to the black skin of sub-Saharan Africans. And now the terms are commonly used in genetic research and are being validated by more and more studies all the time.
Negroid is so distant from Caucasoids and Mongoloids that they should be a single category rather than be labeled further down on their branches. Western Europeans and Middle Easterners are not in the Australoid racial category.-- Dark Tichondrias 01:46, 29 August 2006 (UTC) The Mongoloid race is North East Asians, native Americans, Inuits.
