Talk:Europid

I cancelled a fault. "Europid" and "Europoid" are used by amateur anthropologists, too, but also in the correct sense of the word comprising the about 12 Europid races ( or subraces in the English nomenclature).E.g. the exclusion of the Turanid race and the Aethiopid race does not mean that the term is not applied appropriately as it e.g. reflects scientific debate about the doubtful Negrid character of e.g. the Pharaohs or the doubtful Mongolid character of the Huns and Mongolians. Check the about 300 google matches for English pages for "Europid".That the some statements about the Europids are unscientific does not mean that the application of the term itself is unscientific.

 * An improved article would distinguish between the scientific usage of this term, if there is one, and the more casual usage. It would then contrast conclusions based on the scientific usage with conclusions based on the informal usage, employing quotations. --Wetman 01:32, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Europid - Caucasian
The words are exact synonyms. The term "Europid" is used in continental Europe and the term "Caucasian" is used in the English-speaking world.MoritzB 16:59, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Just redirect this page and mention it was also called "Europid" on the Caucasian page. FunkMonk 18:28, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
