ネグロイド
Sign in to saveAlso known as Congoid
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"Negroid" is an outdated racial classification that was historically used to group together people indigenous to sub-Saharan Africa and certain populations in South and Southeast Asia,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.

ネグロイド（Negroid）とは、身体的特徴に基づく歴史的人種分類概念の一つ。日本では一般に黒色人種・黒人と同義に理解される。ドイツの人類学者ブルーメンバッハによって提唱された五大人種説に基づく。現在でも便宜的・慣用的、またしばしば政治的に用いられる。これに分類される人々の主要な居住地はサハラ以南のアフリカ大陸である。ラテン語のnigreos（ニグレオス、黒）に由来する。ニグロイドとも。
