Who Exactly is a “Caucasian?”

- Who exactly is a Caucasian? And what does this label even mean anyways? Although the term "Caucasoid" or "Caucasian" is largely considered to be outdated and inaccurate, today we'll be discussing whether the people historically described as such actually have any sort of genealogical or socio-political/cultural similarities in their origins whatsoever.
This video is NOT intended to be controversial or spark arguments over the usage of the word “race,” only to show a common genetic contribution to various populations spread out over a large chunk of the Earth's surface and the historical reasoning and analysis behind the term “Caucasoid.” It's just a stupid term that someone made up over a hundred years ago, so relax. Thanks for watching!

American Indian. Too many people don't understand that we are as diverse as any other race and are as distinct a group as Asians or Europeans.
Also great video masa, very informative.

Caucasian is used now because Other than Africa (the land of black skinned peope), First Man And Woman were found in Georgia(Sakartvelo) So they called it (White Skinned peope), so first Caucasians (eurasians) are Georgians, but others living in the Caucasus they immigrated here from Asia, india, africa, that's why European languages are Indo-European even Latin. So all Caucasians aren't whites, cuz of immigrants from other countries. But only Georgians are.

I hope that people one day will stop using the word “Caucasian” to describe race
no probably not, its not really that important, so the terminology will probably be eternal or go extinct but only because one day everyone is most likely going to be mixed

Caucasian. Just another misused, misunderstood, confusing and outdated term used to classify human beings.
The word carries with it so many problems. For starters, it was analogous to "Negro" for a long time, which should give some idea of how long the word has been in use. And it is so often used to describe Europeans only, when in fact the Caucasus Mountains are barely in Europe! Whenever I hear someone mention that Middle Easterners are not Caucasian, I ask, "Well, then - what are they?" People will usually say "brown," even though that is the most imprecise of all the "color" terms for race and can refer to any of various races. Occasionally someone will say "Semites," but then the Jews are Semites and most of them are considered white. Frankly, I think "brown" (at least when used in a Middle Eastern context) is pretty much a code word for "Muslim," because I've noticed that Christian Arabs are usually able to pass for "white"; in fact, many Christian Arabs have "melted" into white America entirely, while most Muslim Arabs apparently have not.

@Sharon Cato did you not hear this man talk about phenotype?
@John Bold How is it not? We can talk about breeds from different areas, (like different horses and dogs) but we are all still humans!
@Sharon Cato No it is not a artificial construct. There are 4 main racial groups. Australoid Caucasoid mongoloid and negroid. There are distinct physical differences between each race. For example just by looking at a scull. A trained anthropologist can tell you what race that person was. Each racial group also has been found to have a certain admixture of archaic human relative DNA. Caucasoid = Neanderthal, Mongoloid= mostly neanderthal with some Denosovan, Australoid= mostly Denosovan with some Neanderthal, Negroid= heidelbergensis and Paleo Africanis. Each of the admixes of arcane DNA results in the regional physical and internal differences among the races. All modern humans are hybrid sub species of Homo sapiens. That does not mean that one race is any better than the others. The facts point out that race is in fact real. Each race is suited best for the part of the world they are fund in because of there individual genetic admixture.
Is this why Somalis move to cold cities in the US like Minnesota of all places? LOL

Thanks Masaman as a Somali I appreciate the work you put into your videos. I hope you are not discouraged by some of the ignorant comments in the comment section.
This video is large correct but he was wrong that the traditional 4 races have any scientific basis. There is really only 2 origins for the features seen across the human species that being of Sub Saharan African (any part of Africa below the Equator) and those form outside it's territory. But going back far enough we share our origins as human beings and even living beings from Eastern Africa, so dividing based on origins of such phenotype traits and exact Genotype is all a moot point.
In just three years time, the science has already changed.
Though you desperately want to believe it, Somalis(?) are not caucasian..
Those people came from you not the other way around like he’s explaining. Your ancestors have never been to the mountains of death ( caucuses Mountain). Those people are a fixed race that can only have kids their own paleness or whiter … the melanin is dominant why would you identify ur self as white when you are genetically superior
@@douche8980 so are Arabs caucasian?
@@douche8980 Correct. Just because each of these has some Caucasian substratum, doesn't make them the same so-called "race." The Levant, northeastern Africa, and the Caucasus itself have the highest admixtures of Caucasian, but it's extremely low in the rest of Europe and South Asia. So this would apply to the Syrians, much less to the Somalis, but not to the Sri Lankans or Swedes. This is outdated colonial era pseudo-science for a reason, and it baffles me why, rightly, saying "Black race/negroid, "yellow race/Mongoloid," and "red race" are rightly seen as offensive and inaccurate, and somehow in the US "Caucasian" is somehow seen as polite and valid. Yes, it would be interesting to find out why this is the case, probably either because there was an existing Caucasian substratum before Afro-Asiatic and Ino-European peoples began to dominate in the area, or because e.g. the Hyksos were originally a Caucasian people before spreading into the Middle East and then Egypt, even though they're simply assumed to be Semitic (Afroasiatic).
Having family from the actual Caucasus region, we have Indo-European Languages in Iranic and Armenian, Altaic languages in Turkic, and Caucasian languages such as Georgian and Chechen. Although we are genetically related having lived next to each other for several centuries, calling us all "Caucasian" culturally or ethnically instead of simply geographically, is something we find outdated and ignorant, just FWIW.
Masaman has another video where he covers what Caucasian actually is or isn't, rather than this outdated European colonial era version.

@@altergreenhorn I feel like you might be confused at what I'm saying. Spaniards are White on the us census. That is not a position, it is a fact. That is how they are classified by the us government if it were up to me I would have a much more complex system of classification but it's not, I have been aware of all the things you just said for some time, and they are mentioned in this very video. The Puerto Rican point that I am making is that the majority of Puerto Ricans should not be classified as White on the census because they occupy a very different societal position than White people, and most of the ones who are told to write White are just light skinned mixed people for whom another option of mestizo, mulatto, mixed latino, or Afro-Latino should be available.
@@SimKivi Because it is a useful data point given the fact that we live in a racially stratified society..
Talk about, the common ancestor between the caucasoid and mongoloid peoples, who probably lived in central Eurasia. Or maybe, the paleo Siberians
Did you read my comment or my mind?
@d puski Nah, they all share a common ancestor. Just one that exists at an even earlier date.
The ancient north Eurasians contributed to the genomes of central Asian proto indo European ppl as well as paleoindians
@d puski No, idiot. The ancestor of Eurasians and modern day Africans (who continued to evolve) split around 80,000 to 100,000 years ago. The common ancestor of all modern humans lived hundreds of thousands of years earlier.

I’m just tryna know what to put on the questionnaire about my race for my new school enrollment😭😭😂
When I was in college many years ago, one of my required humanities classes brought in the county coroner to talk about "race". He said that coroners could generally come up with a general description of a person from bones alone, assuming there was enough material to examine, and said that there were three races, broadly speaking: Indo-European, Asian and African, and this was based on bone structure, not skin color. Obviously, because there is so much "mixing" of DNA in the US and much of the world, this can sometimes create issues for coroners using bones alone to come up with a description of the deceased.

sam hinchee I don’t think labels in taxonomy can really become inaccurate, they aren’t strict in the first place.
@@silence6605 Generally the terms we used to divide people into ethnic categories are not considered taxonomic. Taxonomically, all modern humans are monotypic, largely because we managed to absorb any significantly divergent human subspecies or species as we colonized the world.
Eh, there is some value in it. Certainly genetics and morphology seems to suggest Caucasians are a distinct group. Although the people who think it means Europeans alone are dead wrong.
Yea i think its just silly.
@@threerabbit2227 but even if that was the case the term race itself is still pretty bad. The way I see it, all of the modern day humans belong to the same race since we all descend from Africans who left that continent and you can breed with any other human. Race realistically would only be a factor if you compared yourself to an extinct species of human like the Neanderthals or denisovans
I always thought that Somalis and Ethiopians did look quite distinct from people from other sub Saharan African countries. It makes sense that genetics would be quite different too.
Search up e-m78
People from the Horn (Somalis, Ethiopians, Djiboutians, and Eritreans) are some of the oldest Africans which is why you find the oldest archeological evidence of humans in this region. We are the original depiction of phenotypes incorrectly referred to as "Eurocentric". We led the mass migrations movement out of Africa, just look at the "Cheddar Man" and you'll clearly see that he resembles a native person from the Horn of Africa
The word "race" is not scientific. There are haplotypes with somewhat similar and homogeneous external traits.

8:00 Sudan was considered white/Caucasian? And Spain wasn’t? Lol
@Devine Truth The exclusion of Spain from that map is because the US Census distinguishes Hispanic (of any race) from whites, blacks, etc. who aren't of Hispanic or Latino ancestry. Spain is counted alongside Latin America (except Brazil) as Hispanic, with Brazil being counted as Latino but not Hispanic. Thus, all the other European countries are counted as non-Hispanic white while Spain is counted as Hispanic. So yes, the map is somewhat arbitrary, especially when it comes to Spain.
@@yodorob This is why Portugal is marked as Caucasian, since Brazil is the largest Latin state. It is not logical

This is important but it's also important to realize that the identities of "Black" and "Brown" were forced on the slaves and Latin Americans in the US due to the culture around them, e.g. Anglo culture, who saw them as all the same. So to combat their oppression, they turned their identity into something positive for them, something to feel proud of, to negate the inferiority they were meant to feel when being discriminated against.

These are originally German terms adopted later by some other Western countries. In other countries, they do not use this term. Something else is used and other maps exist.
Love the research you put into these man, thumbs up!
I like how you used "Self Esteem Fund" by Kelly Bailey in the middle of the video. It's my all times fav music piece :)
Very interesting, I'd like to learn more. Thanks.
The map shows Turkey as Asian.Do Turkish people considered Asian or cauasian or middle Eastern or European?
There is nothing called Turkish people when it comes to what is now called Turkey , they are a mixture of Middle East and European with a small percentage of Turkic and Mongolian blood.
Masaman, you are already more professional than 90% of American cultural anthropologists.
Love how consistent the uploads have been keep it up dude

What ethnicity are you
One thing i want to add since my other comment became controversial
We have thin noses not because of mixture because for people in the highlands it evolves that way
Very Nice Video, thank you
Just curious about Masaman's qualifications in terms of biology/genetics? This is not meant to be a put down, I thoroughly enjoy his videos, it's just that I haven't found anything on the internet. I am also curious as to his ethnic background. Thanks!
I think he made a video on that subject
Could you break down the ethnic/racial groups that make up Assyrians?
Semitic people. There you go. No need to thank.
Likeitornot Assyrians have very close or should I say totally similar genes with the rest of Northern Iraqis and western Syrians , all of these regions share the same genes in both Parental YDNA haplogroup and they only speak different languages . Christian Assyrians are not special and they just sustained their culture from ancient Assyria unlike the rest .
Oh man, people are really getting triggered that he said Somalis are Caucasian lol.
If you payed attention he said Caucasian doesn’t mean white, just like how Asian doesn’t mean Chinese.
@Loki Animations African is someone that's from the continent of Africa. Don't make it seem like all Africans have one look because they don't, just like other continents. Africa is diverse.
@Loki Animations one thing people don't appriciate enough is how long Africa has been inhabited by humans.
Because of that length of habitation there is more genetic variation in Africa than any other contient, or similar region. Then you add into the mix isolation, immigration, and phenotipic mixing. Africa's genetic diversity is incredible.
You sound triggered
@Fidus Achates they aren't mixed, they are cushitic. Actually some of the least mixed people in the region
@Fidus Achates Somalis aren't mixed for the last time. Somalis are E1b1b DNA Haplogroup. This haplogroup originated in the Horn Of Africa specifically Somalia. Somalis are a very ancient people, not mixed with anything.
I don't think Somalis are caucasians
@masaman We know White skin evolved about 8k to 9k years ago. Blue eyes a few millenia older but what about the Caucasoid skull shape? (And for that matter the Mongolia skull type) I've found it hard to find a definitive point when this skull type developed. 35k year old skulls 💀 I saw that were formerly called Caucasoid now have reconstructions that look very similar to modern Khoisan tribesmen & mentioning that I'm searching for the oldest Caucasoid skull type post OAA because with such a diverse phenotype I'm sure skulls that fall in the Caucasoid range could be found amongst Black Africans (I use this term for all aboriginal African groups -pre North African back migration with no admixture)
I'm sure we are talking older than 15k bce but I'm wondering had you ever looked into this question
Hi Masaman, this week my Dad got is Ancestry DNA results. We got surprised! My Dad and his Family have always said to be Sephardic Jews with some Moorish descent. My Dad had some Middle eastern descent but 51% of his DNA is Native Mexican-American Indian! 😀
Then you are Indigenous-American because that is your predominance
Here is a topic. Similarities between turkic and "hispanic" mestizos of amerindian and european ancestry. After all it said the Natives originated from central asian region. It can also explain why some "Hapas" are sometimes confused with being latino. Hapas being Asian and European. Its so interesting yet so confusing.
Similarities only to people not familiar with either group.
Hapa is a Hawaiian term that meant half Asian or Pacific Islander it could be anyone who's half asn or P islander even a blasian person I think a better term would be Eurasian I agree native north Americans were Eurasian in origin and that's y Eurasians would look like Latinos sometimes
so what are we to call the persons who originated in the mountains of Caucus?
this is kinda a weird question, but can more races or ethnicities be "created" in the future?
Yes like mix of different races can create new race
Could you make a video about the Mongoloid Races ?
You should make a video where you make it clear that Somalis are not mixed
He already made a video on that, & the Horn Of Africa countries you should check it out. 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴
Not *recently mixed but I agree
Lua Gita I wouldn’t trust this guy. He made a video about the Nilotic people and someone commented the shit historically inaccurate phrase ‘we wuz kangz n shiet’ and he liked the comment. I would recommend you guys to watch hometeamhistory and everybody hates angel. Their better channels if you want to know about the history of the horn. As a half Kenyan myself I don’t agree on the fact Sudanese and the people of the horn are Caucasian (which in itself is an outdated and offensive term for other races) I hope this helps✌🏽
@@je8479 why you mad we are Caucasian
Somali Vlogs yeah maybe ages ago but definitely not now. The term ‘Caucasian’ is an old term. The only real Caucasian people are the ones who live in the Caucas regions but since the word ‘Caucasian’ is actually offensive and used to down-grade other races. I think the best way to describe them is ‘white Eurasian’. As for Somalis, most Somalis I’ve come across refer themselves as Cushitic black Africans and are proud to be black Africans. Let’s admit most people who are deemed as ‘Caucasian’ in this video probably don’t have any ‘white privilege’ anyway. But if you want to call yourself Caucasian that’s fine I’m just saying it shouldn’t be a word to describe people anymore
Absolutely my go to source on this subject, resubscribing.
@masaman @9:23 You made a mistake grouping horn Africans as Eurasian. Your chart on the right groups them based on Eurasian and African locality. The horn of Africa is located in Africa. The other Eurasian groups are correctly grouped 9:23
I need to get my DNA tested I’m mixed race more tanned. With jet black hair. But I think I’ve got more European descent as mum is more Dark skinned but European features and my dad is white Irish. So would I be classed as Caucasian then?
African Hunter-Gathers. There are two separate races of Pygmy or maybe three and the Hadza are unrelated to the Khoisan, and some Khoisan are tall with black skin, possibly from Bantoid admixture? Lots of genetic variation and confusion around African Hunter-Gatherers and it pains me to see them lumped together so often.
Of course there is some variety there.
Super-super informative. Thank you for all the detail. I often had to stop the video in order to digest the many charts. At one point you used a word that sounded to me like "desidgination" ( at about 7:10). I can't find the definition for this word. Of course I am most probably misspelling it. Could you clarify please. Thanks.
The word is miscegenation
Interesting how pseudoscience is used to back a pseudo thought
I talk about this all the time for decades.
You really put this video together really well.
God bless you 🙏
Caucasian people are ancestors of first indo-european people :) thats why white race is called caucasian.
@@borisgodunov6 ok so what does that mean exactly. Maybe I am missing something. Ty for sharing
@@DCJNewsMedia First Indo-European people were people called Yamnaya. you can search that name. this was the first people who had blonde hair(they had first mutation). they lived in the north of the Caucasus in the territory of modern Russia. they were physically strongest people at that time because they were first people who consumed milk. they also were eating meat and honey so their diet contained 40% more calories than other people's diet. Yamnaya's people also had strong bone structure (because Milk=Vitamin D). they also used horses. one more thing to mention is that they had very advanced metallurgy. their weapons were too good for that time. all these were the reasons why they conquered whole Europe.
now the question: did they have any connection to real caucasian people?
answer: yes :) yamnaya's people created by mixing 2 people of that time.
1)caucasian hunter/gatherer
2)eastern european hunter/gatherer
so we see that 40-50% of Yamnaya's peoples genetics comes from Caucasian people but its not only genetics, its culture too. As I said Yamnaya's people were eating honey and gathered it in pots. do you know how they knew it? because their ancestors Caucasians(Georgia) were first beekeepers in the world
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beekeeping
Yamnaya's people were herders so they couldn't beekeeping but they gathered it.
I also said that they had advanced metallurgy. science says that first advanced metallurgy was in Asian countries and Yamnaya's people took it from them but Holy Bible says that first advanced metallurgy in the world was invented by Tubals(Georgian tribes) 5000 years ago. Georgia is Caucasian country. Yamnaya's people may took it from them or from Asian countries. no one knows that.
Caucasian Hunter/Gatherer people mixed with other peoples too
Yamnaya's people were herders they took their genetics in whole Eurasia too.
Now there are genetical maps where we find Caucasian hunter/gatherer gene in Europe, Asia and north Africa too.
there are plenty researches of Yamnaya's peoples genetics. You can search it. If you want I can send few genetical researches about them.
@@borisgodunov6 your pretty smart. Looks like you are a world history guy. Very interesting. I will look into this further. Thank you so very much for sharing this with me.
Have a fantastic day

I'm Moroccan,my Ancestry test last year came back 89% North african,7% iberian and 4% west african,it's worth mentioning i have straight light brown hair,blueish green eyes and white skin. This is very similar to the results the majority of moroccans get (you'll find many videos on youtube of moroccans and north africans all of which have received pretty much the same results and all of which could pass for greek,spaniard or italian) If you guys are interested i can make a video about mine.
one thing i noticed on all your videos there's always idiots and crazy afrocentrists and eurocentrists who sprout nonsense in the commemt section,like this one guy one time claimed he's north african maghrebi but said he's cushitic 🤦🏻♂️ some straight out lie to your face,others use the bible as a history book so i lol at the afrocentrist wiki educated folks who say north africans used to be black and the eurocentrists who claim egyptians were scandinavian looking both are wrong,we are mediterranean,just like the italians,the greeks,the phonecians the asyrians the spaniards and the turks.

@@LK-ho1dg it's usually not even the subsaharans but 'black' people from the US 😂 subsaharans are not stupid,some of the smartest people i know are subsaharan including one of my best friends who's an immigrant from ivory coast,and depending on what part of the country you are in a (mostly berber) moroccan can look spaniard,greek,italian,levantene,or even alpine or germanic, same thing with all mediterranean countries,my sisters get told they look "spanish" everytime they're in france, but the african eye is very trained considering how many cultures africans came into contact with so me and you could deffinitely distinguish between all of those,unlike a westerner who thinks in terms of "black/white"
Of course north Africa used to be black, I'm a berber from north Africa, you know when the Arabs first conquered north Africa?
