Historically, races such as Negroid, Mongoloid, Caucasian (sometimes spelled Caucasoid), and Aryan were used to describe what were considered to be the dominant races of mankind. These terms originated from the old attempts in the 18th and 19th centuries in the field of anthropology to divide people according to physical characteristics such as skin color or skull type. These are now considered to be scientifically obsolete and more of a social construct.
