caucásico
A presumed human "race" consisting of Europeans and other closely related people. The classification is based on the discredited typological model. The term "Caucasoid" was derived from the Caucasus Mountains on the southeast fringe of Europe between the Black and Caspian Seas. This region was once thought to be the homeland of Indo-Europeans.
