For more than a century, scientists and philosophers have tried to define race and describe races. Some scientists define only three races: caucasoid, mongoloid, and negroid, while other scientists have defined more than 10. In our climate of multi-cultural sensitivity, some scholars, not forensic anthropologists, suggest that race does not exist, or at least it should not be talked about.}}</ref>

Begrebet "den kaukaside race" blev skabt af den tyske filosof [[Christoph Meiners]] i hans ''TheGrundriß Outlineder ofGeschichte Historyder of MankindMenschheit'' (1785).
