Word of the Day: Caucasian

By Daniel

ADVERTISEMENTS

Caucasian (kô-k?’zh?n) is commonly used as an adjective to describe people from racial groups characterized by white skin, especially ones with European origin. This meaning was coined by German anthropologist Johann Blumenbach since the Caucasus Mountains (located close to the Black Sea) are homeland for most of the white races.
