Here's any copy and paste lesson for you on what a true Cac is
The
Georgian skull Blumenbach discovered in 1795, which he used to hypothesize origination of Europeans from the
Caucasus.
The term "Caucasian race" was coined by the German philosopher
Christoph Meiners in his
The Outline of History of Mankind (1785). Meiners' term was given wider circulation in the 1790s by
Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, a German professor of medicine and member of the British
Royal Society, who is considered one of the founders of the discipline of
anthropology.
[7]
Meiners' treatise was widely read in the German intellectual circles of its day, despite muted criticism of its scholarship. Meiners proposed a taxonomy of human beings which involved only two races (
Rassen): Caucasians and Mongolians. He considered Caucasians to be more physically attractive than Mongolians, notably because they had paler skin; Caucasians were also more sensitive and more morally virtuous than Mongolians. Later he would make similar distinctions within the Caucasian group, concluding that the Germans were the most attractive and virtuous people on earth. The name "Caucasian" derived from the
Southern Caucasus region (or what is now the countries of
Armenia,
Azerbaijan and
Georgia), because he considered the people of this region to be the archetype for the grouping.
Meiners' classification was not grounded on any scientific criteria. It was Blumenbach who gave it scientific credibility and a wider audience, by grounding it in the new quantitative method of
craniology. Blumenbach did not credit Meiners with his taxonomy, however, claiming to have developed it himself — although his justification clearly points to Meiners' aesthetic viewpoint:
Caucasian variety—I have taken the name of this variety from Mount Caucasus, both because its neighborhood, and especially its southern slope, produces the most beautiful race of men, I mean the
Georgian; and because all physiological reasons converge to this, that in that region, if anywhere, it seems we ought with the greatest probability to place the autochthones (original members) of mankind.

Relation to whiteness

Global racial map by
Lothrop Stoddard in
The Rising Tide of Color Against White World-Supremacy (1920).
In his earlier racial typology, Meiners put forth that Caucasians had the "whitest, most blooming and most delicate skin".
[9] Europeans with darker skin he considered "dirty whites", admixed with Mongolian. Such views were typical of early scientific attempts at racial classification, where skin pigmentation was regarded as the main difference between races. This view was shared by the French naturalist
Julien-Joseph Virey, who believed that the Caucasians were only the palest-skinned Europeans.
[10]
In various editions of
On the Natural Variety of Mankind, Blumenbach expanded on Meiners' popular idea and defined five human races based on color, using popular racial terms of his day, justified with scientific terminology, cranial measurements, and facial features. He established Caucasian as the "white race," as well as Mongoloid as the "yellow race," Malayan the "brown race," Ethiopian the "black race," American the "red race."
[11] In the 3rd edition of his
On the Natural Variety of Mankind, Blumenbach moved skin tone to second-tier importance after noticing that poorer European people (such as peasants) whom he observed generally worked outside, often became darker skinned ("browner") through sun exposure.
[12] He also noticed that darker skin of an "olive-tinge" was a natural feature of some European populations closer to the
Mediterranean Sea.
[13] Alongside the anthropologist
Georges Cuvier, Blumenbach classified the Caucasian race by cranial measurements and bone morphology in addition to skin pigmentation, and thus considered more than just the palest Europeans ("white, cheeks rosy") as archetypes for the Caucasian race.
