The Dinaric race (or Adriatic race or Epirotic race) is an archaic term historically used to describe the perceived predominant phenotype of the contemporary ethnic groups of South-Eastern Europe (a sub-category of Europid Caucasians), by physical anthropologists and scientific racists in the early to mid 20th century. Such racial typologies have been rejected by modern anthropology for several reasons, especially since the rise of molecular anthropology.

Famous quotes containing the word race:
“[It is possible] that the race of red men ... will, before many generations, be remembered only as a strange, weird, dream-like specter, which has passed once before the eyes of men, but had departed forever.”
—James A. Garfield (1831–1881)
