Arabid race

Arabid race
Arabid

The Oriental race[1] (also Arabid race)[2] is an antiquated term for a morphological sub-type of the supposed Mediterranean race, used in historical physical anthropology.

The Arabid race was thought to be predominant in Arabia, and a major element in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Iran, and Dagestan. [3] It was held to be a common element in Mizrahi Jews by Richard McCulloch.[4]. The Arabid race was distinguished from the West-Mediterranean race by some minor characteristic facial traits. These include the almond eyes, the "Semitic smile" (conditioned by unusually deep Fossa canina), skin color from White to Tanned, etc. This race had in earlier times a broader-formed Syrid subrace, which was found among the farmers of the "Fertile Crescent".
