WHAT DOES MONGOLOID MEAN IN ENGLISH?

mongoloid

Mongoloid

Mongoloid /ˈmɒŋ.ɡə.lɔɪd/ refers to populations that share certain phenotypic traits such as epicanthic fold and other physical characteristics common in East Asia, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Siberia, the Arctic, parts of the Americas and the Pacific Islands, and small parts of South Asia. In terms of population, it is the most widely distributed physical type, constituting over a third of the human species. The word is formed by the base word "Mongol" and the suffix "-oid" which means "resembling", so therefore the term literally means "resembling Mongols". It was introduced by early ethnology primarily to describe various central and East Asian populations, one of the proposed three major races of humanity. Although some forensic anthropologists and other scientists continue to use the term in some contexts, the term mongoloid is now considered derogatory by most anthropologists due to its association with disputed typological models of racial classification.
