The Caucasian race (also Caucasoid is a grouping of human beings historically regarded as a biological taxon, Including Some Or All Of The Populations Of Europe, North Africa, The Horn Of Africa, Western Asia, Central Asia And South Asia.
THE TERM HAS BEEN USED IN BIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY FOR MANY PEOPLE FROM THESE REGIONS, WITHOUT REGARD NECESSARILY TO SKIN TONE
First introduced in early racial science and anthropometry, the term was formerly Used To Denote One Of The Three Purported Major Races (Caucasoid, Mongoloid (not as formerly denoted a mentally retarded person. This used to be used to denote people with Down's syndrome, and now is just generally derogatory), Negroid) Of Humankind.  Although its validity and utility are disputed by many anthropologists, Caucasoid as a biological classification remains in limited use in forensic anthropology.
The term "Caucasian race" was coined by the German philosopher Christoph Meiners in his The Outline of History of Mankind (1785).[page needed] Meiners' term was given wider circulation in the 1790's by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, a German professor of medicine and member of the British Royal Society,
Meiners put forth that Caucasians had the "whitest, most blooming and most delicate skin". In a series of articles, Meiners boasts about the superiority of Germans among Europeans, and describes non-German Europeans' colour as "dirty whites", in an unfavourable comparison with Germans. 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.
IN VARIOUS EDITIONS OF ON THE NATURAL VARIETY OF MANKIND, BLUMENBACH EXPANDED ON MEINERS' POPULAR IDEA AND DEFINED FIVE HUMAN RACES BASED ON COLOUR, 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."
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. He also noticed that darker skin of an "olive-tinge" was a natural feature of some European populations closer to the Mediterranean Sea.

 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.~~Al  (Alex-Alexander) D Girvan.
