Sociology

Anthropologists have traditionally divided racial groups into three main categories: 1. Caucasoid (or Caucasian): Typically includes people from Europe, North Africa, and parts of the Middle East, characterized by lighter skin tones and a variety of hair and eye colors. 2. Negroid (or African): Refers to people primarily from Sub-Saharan Africa, with darker skin tones, tightly curled hair, and other distinct physical features. 3. Mongoloid: Generally includes people from East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the indigenous populations of the Americas, often characterized by straight black hair, epicanthic eye folds, and varying skin tones.
