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:
“The success of great scholars and thinkers is commonly a courtier-like success, not kingly, not manly. They make shift to live merely by conformity, practically as their fathers did, and are in no sense the progenitors of a nobler race of men.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
