WHAT DOES NEGROID MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Negroid

Negroid

Negroid is a term that is used by some forensic and physical anthropologists to refer to individuals and populations that share certain morphological and skeletal traits that are frequent among most populations in Sub-Saharan Africa. The term is commonly associated with notions of racial typology which are disputed by a majority of anthropologists. For modern usage it is associated with racial notions, and is discouraged, as it is potentially offensive. First introduced in early racial science and anthropometry, the taxon has traditionally been used to denote one of the three proposed major races of humankind. Negroid as a biological classification remains in use, particularly within the field of forensic anthropology. The word is formed by the base "Negro" and the suffix "-oid", which means "resembling".
