'''Caucasian''' is a 19th century term for the white race.  

Whites have less [[melanin]] pigment in their skin than other human beings. Darker-skinned people regard them as "white" in contrast to themselves, (see [[skin color]]). The term grew out of belief at the time that European languages originated in the Caucasus (mountains between the Black and Caspian Seas), but this turned out not to be true, so the word "Caucasian" (like "American Indian")  is in fact a misnomer.
