Negroid (less commonly called Congoid) is an obsolete racial grouping of various people indigenous to Africa south of the area which stretched from the southern Sahara desert in the west to the African Great Lakes in the southeast, but also to isolated parts of South and Southeast Asia (Negritos). The term is derived from now-disproven conceptions of race as a biological category.
"Negroid" is an outdated racial classification that was historically used to group together people indigenous to sub-Saharan Africa and certain populations in South and Southeast Asia, but the term is no longer used in modern science because the biological concept of race it was based on has been disproven. It matters historically as an example of how racial categories that once seemed scientific are now recognized as inaccurate and have been abandoned by contemporary researchers.
