What are Caucasians?

"Caucasian" is a scientific name for white people. The traditional terms for the different races divided them into three groups: Caucasians (whites), Negroids (blacks) and Mongoloids (Asians).

Some would argue that three main categories is not sufficient to classify the racial diversity of humanity. A newer model, developed by a man named Carleton S. Coon, split humans into five races: Caucasoid, Congoid, Capoid, Mongoloid, and Australoid.
