Arabid race

Outdated grouping of human beings

Summary

Outdated grouping of human beings

The Arabid race was a term used by ethnologists during the late 19th century and the early 20th century in an attempt to categorize a perceived racial division between speakers of Semitic languages and other people. Its proponents saw it as part of the so-called Caucasian race or even of a subspecies labelled Homo sapiens europaeus. It has been considered significantly outdated in the years since. Modern scientific consensus based on genetics rejects the concept of distinct human races in a biological sense.

In the early 20th century, Charles Gabriel Seligman described his perception of the occurrence of the "Arabid race" in the Sudan region:
