From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected fromNegroids)

Negroid(less commonly calledCongoid) is anobsolete racial groupingof various people indigenous toAfricasouth of the area which stretched from the southernSaharadesert in the west to theAfrican Great Lakesin the southeast,[1]but also to isolated parts ofSouthandSoutheast Asia(Negritos).[2]The term is derived from now-disproven conceptions of race as a biological category.[3]

The concept of dividing humankind into three races calledCaucasoid,Mongoloid,and Negroid (originally named "Ethiopian" ) was introduced in the 1780s by members of theGöttingen school of historyand further developed by Western scholars in the context of "racist ideologies"during the age ofcolonialism.[4]

With the rise of moderngenetics,the concept of distinct human races in a biological sense has become obsolete. In 2019, theAmerican Association of Biological Anthropologistsstated: "Race does not provide an accurate representation of human biological variation. It was never accurate in the past, and it remains inaccurate when referencing contemporary human populations."[4]

Etymology

NegroidhasPortugueseorSpanishandAncient Greeketymological roots. It literally translates as "black resemblance" from the Portuguese and Spanish wordnegro(black) fromLatinnigrum,and Greek οειδές-oeidēs,equivalent to-o-+ είδες-eidēs"having the appearance of", derivative of είδοςeîdos"appearance".[5][6]The earliest recorded use of the term "Negroid" came in 1859.[7]

History of the concept

Origins

Johann Friedrich Blumenbach,a scholar at the then modernGöttingen Universitydeveloped a concept dividing mankind into five races in the revised 1795 edition of hisDe generis humani varietate nativa(On the Natural Variety of Mankind). Although Blumenbach's concept later gave rise toscientific racism,his arguments were basically anti-racist,[8]since he underlined that mankind as a whole forms one singlespecies,[9]and points out that the transition from one race to another is so gradual that the distinctions between the races presented by him are "very arbitrary".[10]Blumenbach counts the inhabitants of North Africa among the "Caucasian race", grouping the other Africans as "Ethiopian race". In this context, he names the "Abyssinians"and"Moors"as peoples through which the" Ethiopian race "gradually" flows together "with the" Caucasian race ".[11]

In the context of scientific racism

Before Darwin

The development of Western race theories took place in a historical situation where most Western nations were still profiting from the enslavement of Africans[12]: 524 and therefore had an economical interest in portraying the inhabitants ofsub-Saharan Africaas an inferior race. A significant change in Western views on Africans came about whenNapoleon's1798 invasion of Egyptdrew attention to the impressive achievements ofAncient Egypt,which could hardly be reconciled with the theory of Africans being inferior.[12]: 526–527 In this context, many of the works published on Egypt after Napoleon's expedition "seemed to have had as their main purpose an attempt to prove in some way that the Egyptians were not Negroes",[12]: 525 but belonged to a "Hamitic race",which was seen as a subgroup of the" Caucasian race ". Thus the high civilization of Ancient Egypt could be separated from the allegedly inferior African" race ".[12]: 526

As historian Edith Sanders writes, "Perhaps because slavery was both still legal and profitable in the United States... there arose an American school of anthropology which attempted to prove scientifically that the Egyptian was a Caucasian, far removed from the inferior Negro ".[12]: 526 In hisCrania Aegyptiaca(1844),Samuel George Morton,the founder of anthropology in the United States, analyzed over a hundred intact crania gathered from the Nile Valley, and concluded that the ancient Egyptians were racially akin to Europeans.[13]

Discussions on race among Western scholars during the 19th century took place against the background of the debate betweenmonogenistsandpolygenists,the former arguing for a single origin of all mankind, the latter holding that each human race had a specific origin. Monogenists based their arguments either on a literal interpretation of thebiblicalstory ofAdam and Eveor on secular research. Since polygenism stressed the perceived differences, it was popular amongwhite supremacists,especiallyslaveholders in the US.[14]

Throughcraniometryconducted on thousands of human skulls, Morton argued that the differences between the races were too broad to have stemmed from a single common ancestor, but were instead consistent with separate racial origins.[15]InCrania Aegyptiaca,he reported his measurements of internal skull capacity grouped according to Blumenbach's five races, finding that the average capacity of the "Caucasian race" was at the top, and that "Ethiopian" skulls had the smallest capacity, with the other "races" ranging in between.[16]He concluded that the "Ethiopian race" was inferior in terms of intelligence. Upon his death in 1851, when slavery still existed in the southern United States, the influentialCharleston Medical Journalpraised him with the words: "We of the South should consider him as our benefactor for aiding most materially in giving to the negro his true position as an inferior race."[17]While a controversy about the correctness of Morton's measurements has been going on since the late 1970s, modern scientists agree that the volume of the skull and intelligence are not related.[18]

Darwin's landmark workOn the Origin of Species,published in 1859, eight years after Morton's death, significantly changed scientific discourse on the origin of humans. British biologistThomas Huxley,a strong advocate of Darwinism and a monogenist, counted ten "modifications of mankind", dividing the native populations ofsub-Saharan Africainto the "Bushmen" of the Cape region and the "Negroes" of the central areas of the continent.[19]

By the end of the 19th century, the influential Germanencyclopaedia,Meyers Konversations-Lexikon,divided humanity into three major races calledCaucasoid,Mongoloid,andNegroid,each comprising various sub-races. While the "Hamites"of northern Africa were seen asCaucasoid,"Australians","Melanesians",and"Negritoes"were seen asNegroidsub-races, although living outside the African continent. The only sub-races attributed to Africa were the "African Negroes" and the "Hottentots".[20]

The justification forracistJim Crow lawswas provided bypseudo-scientific[21]opinions on "negro" psychology like those expressed by the entry for "Negro" in theEncyclopædia Britannica, 11th edition(1910–1911):

"Mentally the negro is inferior to the white... the arrest or even deterioration of mental development [after adolescence] is no doubt very largely due to the fact that after puberty sexual matters take the first place in the negro's life and thoughts.... the mental constitution of the negro is very similar to that of a child, normally good-natured and cheerful, but subject to sudden fits of emotion and passion during which he is capable of performing acts of singular atrocity, impressionable, vain, but often exhibiting in the capacity of servant a dog-like fidelity which has stood the supreme test. "[22]

Franz Boas andThe Race Question

Since the 1920s,Franz Boasand his school of anthropology atColumbia Universitywere criticising the concept of race as politically dangerous and scientifically useless because of its vague definition.[23]: 248 

Illustrations of "racial types" fromThe New Student's Reference Work(1914), edited byChandler B. BeachandFrank Morton McMurry

In 1950,UNESCOpublished their statementThe Race Question.It condemned all forms ofracism,naming "the doctrine ofinequalityof men and races "[24]: 1 among the causes ofWorld War IIand proposing to replace the term "race" with "ethnic groups" because "serious errors... are habitually committed when the term "race" is used in popular parlance. "[24]

Carleton Coon

American anthropologistCarleton S. Coonpublished his much debated[23]: 248 Origin of Racesin 1962. Coon divided the speciesHomo sapiensinto five groups: Besides theCaucasoid,Mongoloid,andAustraloidraces, he posited two races among the indigenous populations of sub-Saharan Africa: theCapoid racein the south, and theCongoid race.[25]In 1982, he usedNegroidandCongoidas synonyms.[26]

Coon's thesis was thatHomo erectushad already been divided into five different races or subspecies. "Homo Erectusthen evolved intoHomo Sapiensnot once but five times, as each subspecies, living in its own territory, passed a critical threshold from a more brutal to a moresapientstate. "[27]He thought theCaucasoidrace had passed the threshold toHomo sapiensabout 200,000 years earlier than theNegroidrace,[23]: 248 thus givingsegregationistsin the southern US the opportunity to make political use of his thesis in their fight against thecivil rights movement.[23]: 249 Although Coon publicly assumed a neutral stance regarding segregation, some fellow anthropologists accused him of being racist because of his "clear insensitivity to social issues".[23]: 249 In private conversations and correspondence with his cousinCarleton Putnam,a prominent supporter ofwhite supremacy,he went much further, helping Putnam "hone his arguments against integration".[23]: 256 

Coon's evolutionary approach was criticized on the basis that such sorting criteria generally do not produce meaningful results, and that evolutionary divergence was extremely improbable over the given time-frames.[28]Monatagu (1963) argued that Coon's theory on the speciation of Congoids and otherHomo sapienswas unlikely because the transmutation of one species to another was a markedly gradual process.[29]

Since Coon followed the traditional methods of physical anthropology, relying on morphological characteristics, and not on the emerginggeneticsto classify humans, the debate overOrigin of Raceshas been "viewed as the last gasp of an outdated scientific methodology that was soon to be supplanted".[23]: 249 

Cheikh Anta Diop and "Negroid" primacy

AfrocentristauthorCheikh Anta Diopcontrasted "Negroid" with "Cro-Magnoid" in his publications arguing for "Negroid" primacy.Grimaldi Man,Upper Paleolithic fossils found in Italy in 1901, had been classified as Negroid by Boule and Vallois (1921). The identification was obsolete by the 1960s, but was controversially revived by Diop in his work, "The African Origin of Civilizations" in 1974[30]and republished in 1989.[31]

Physical features

General appearance

TheEncyclopædia Britannica, Eleventh Edition(1910–1911), lists the following "well-defined characteristics" of the "Negroid" populations of Africa, southernIndia,Malaysia,andAustralasia:"A dark skin, varying from dark brown, reddish-brown, or chocolate to nearly black; dark, tightly curled hair, flat in traverse section, of the woolly or the frizzly type; a greater or less tendency toprognathism;eyes dark brown with yellowishcornea;nose more or less broad and flat; and large teeth ".[22]TheEncyclopædia Britannicasees a tendency towards a "tall stature" and "dolichocephaly"(long-headedness), with the exception of theNegritoswho are described as showing "short stature" and "brachycephaly"(short-headedness).[22]

Forensic anthropologistswriting around the turn of the millennium described "Negroid"[32]skulls as having a broad and roundnasal cavity;no dam or nasal sill;Quonset hut-shapednasal bones;notable facial projection in the jaw and mouth area (prognathism); a rectangular-shapedpalate;a square or rectangulareye orbitshape;[33]a large interorbital distance; a more undulatingsupraorbital ridge;[34]and large teeth.[35]

Neoteny

Ashley Montagulists "neotenousstructural traits in which... Negroids [generally] differ from Caucasoids... flattish nose, flat root of the nose, narrower ears, narrower joints, frontal skull eminences, later closure ofpremaxillarysutures,less hairy, longer eyelashes, [and]cruciformpattern of second and third molars. "[36]: 254 He also suggested that in the extinct Negroid group termed the "Boskopoids",pedomorphic traits proceeded further than in other Negroids.[36]Additionally, Montagu wrote that the Boskopoids had larger brains than modern humans (1,700 cubic centimeters cranial capacity compared to 1,400 cubic centimeters in modern-day humans), and the projection of their mouth was less than in other Negroids.[36]He believed the Boskopoids were the ancestors of theKhoisan.[36]

Athleticism

In the context of prominent successes of African-American athletes likeJesse Owensduring the1936 Summer Olympics,the speed advantage of the "Negroid type of calf, foot and heel bone" was discussed.[37]: 161 [38]Black AnthropologistW. Montague Cobbjoined the debate in the same year, pointing out that "there is not a single physical characteristic, including skin color, which all the Negro stars have in common which definitely classify them as Negroes."[38][37]Today, suggestions of biological differences in athletic ability between racial groups are considered unscientific.[39][40][41]

TheOxford Dictionary of Englishstates: "The term Negroid belongs to a set of terms introduced by 19th-century anthropologists attempting to categorize human races. Such terms are associated with outdated notions of racial types, and so are now potentially offensive and best avoided."[42]

Criticism based on modern genetics

See also:Race and genetics

In his 2016 essayEvolution and Notions of Human Race,Alan R. Templetondiscusses various criteria used in biology to define subspecies or races. His examples for traits traditionally considered to be racial include skin colour: "[T]he native peoples with the darkest skins live in tropical Africa andMelanesia."While those two groups would traditionally be classified as" black ", in reality Africans are more closely related to Europeans than to Melanesians.[43]: 359 Another example ismalarial resistance,which is often found in African populations, but also in "many European and Asian populations".[43]: 359 

Templeton concludes: "[T]he answer to the question whether races exist in humans is clear and unambiguous: no."[43]: 360
