Arabid race
For anyone reading this article, please bear in mind that the brief section following this introduction relies upon information derived from a paper written in 1974, and should only be used as an illustration of what a subset of anthropologist were researching almost half a century ago. This information should be used for historical purposes only and is not representative of the modern scientific and academic study of anthropology. Also, please note that the terms "Arabid", "Orientalid", "Caucasoid", and "Negroid" fell into disuse in academic and scientific anthropology decades ago, and if you use these terms in a paper for a college class, you will likely face consequences ranging from a diminished grade to disciplinary action. These terms are only referenced in this article as an illustration of the terminology used in the history of anthropology.
The Arabid race (also Orientalid race) is a historical term for a morphological subtype of the Caucasoid race, as used in traditional physical anthropology.[1]
Also, please bear in mind that although the following text claims to reference a scholarly paper written in 2017, if you follow the link to JSTOR, you'll find that the paper from which this information is derived, was actually written in 1913. The following information can be used only as an illustration of what anthropology was during the infancy of the scientific study of anthropology, and has no relevance to modern anthropology. Again, if you include the language and ideas presented in the following text as anything other than an historical example in a paper written for a college anthropology class, you will likely face consequences ranging from a diminished grade to disciplinary action. The following information is derived from a paper written in 1913 and is in no way representative of modern anthropology.
In the Sudan area, classic Arabid types can be found among the Kababish and certain other Arabic-speaking desert tribes collectively known as Sudanese Arabs. Here, they often occur in solution with the local Hamitic Mediterranean type, which was the morphological taxon to which belonged the A-Group, C-Group and Meroitic culture makers, among certain other early populations in the region. Elsewhere, Arabid elements fuse with the Negroid type of the region's indigenous Nilo-Saharan speakers, the Nilotes, thereby producing an Afro-Arab hybrid type.[2]
