When I took Anthropology in college, we were taught:

Caucasian - Europeans, Arabs, Indians
Negroid - Black Africans
Mongoloid - East Asians—Chinese, Japanese, Malays, Thais, etc.
Undifferentiated Mongoloid - Eskimos and American Indians
Australiod - Australian aborigines, New Guineans, Melanesians
Capoid - Bushmen, Hottentots; short brown peoples of South Africa

“Capoid - Bushmen, Hottentots; short brown peoples of South Africa”

I never heard of this group.

But it fits in with my thoughts - because I was remembering Rawanda and how the one tribe slaughtered the other and, iirc, the only difference between these groups are a. their appearance and b. their social class (which I suppose might stem - somehow! - from their appearance).

Now I could be mistaken, but that is my recollection. There were no differences of language, religion, etc. It was pretty much just pure, what shall we say, ethnic (?) hatred.

It would probably be almost impossible for a white person to go over there and say, or you are are Hutu and you over there are a Tutsi (excuse any spelling errors, please).

So, you know, I just think it shows that evil lurks in the hearts of men and there isn’t a way to eliminate that you just have to try and control outrageous behavior.

Which was a failure in Rawanda so I can’t say much positive about that.
