Who are Caucasians?

Answer 1

It is a Caucasian shepherd dog that originated in the country of Georgia.

Answer 2

The modern day distribution of the "race" described as Caucasian, a term originally used to describe people originating from the region of the Caucasus Mountains, is held by some to be:

The European originated population of North and South America, Europe, Australia, and countries in Asia that are not Mongoloid [for example: Russia, India, Turkey, etc.]

Old school anthropology saw the human race as divided into three basic groups, based on the supposed historic origin of that group; Caucasian, Mongoloid, and Negroid. These groups are also divided into a number of subgroups based on ancestry. The group called Caucasian originally described people from the Caucasus region of Southwest Russia, Georgia and Armenia and subsequently became used to identify anyone from European ancestry.

Extensive study of the history these groups finds they developed very similar strategies for survival and development of their societies. The scientific differences of these groups are limited to appearance and certain genetic disorders that give a specific group to be more susceptible to certain physical diseases and anomalies. There is no sound scientific evidence for differences other than physical. Differences ascribed to any given group based on behaviors or abilities are purely subjective and have no scientific basis other than anecdotal and in the belief of the individual.

Present thinking on "race" doesn't provide clear cut differences or even support "race" as a viable descriptor of different groups of humanity.

Answer 3

white as in white people NO OFFENSE! I LOVE YOU DANIEL ESPINOZA!!! It refers to the Caucasian mountain range, one of several geographical boundaries which separate the continents of Europe and Asia. How white people came to be known as Caucasians is unknown to this contributor.

Answer 4

Typically in the United States, the term "Caucasian" is simply a nicer way of saying "White" and both terms refer to people of European ancestry. There is a debate over whether these terms also encompass Hispanic People who do not have obvious Indigenous features, but this goes for both terms.

The only distinction between "White" and "Caucasian" is that "Caucasian" has the secondary use of referring to the roughly 20 million people from the Caucasus mountain region (southern Russia, Georgia (EURASIA), Armenia, and Azerbaijan).

Answer 5

Caucasian is one of the human races, known informally as the "white" race. They are mainly of European descent, and are named after the Caucasus region.
