Caucasoid / Mongoloid / Negroid

Nineteenth-century racial typological terms used in forensic anthropology reports through the 2010s. Discouraged by AABA (2020), SWGANTH (2013), and NIST (2020) because they imply discrete biological categories that are not operationally defined, have no published error rates, and do not reflect the clinal nature of human morphological variation.
