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 parallel between antifeminism and race prejudice is striking. The same underlying motives appear to be at work, namely fear, jealousy, feelings of insecurity, fear of economic competition, guilt feelings, and the like. Many of the leaders of the feminist movement in the nineteenth-century United States clearly understood the similarity of the motives at work in antifeminism and race discrimination and associated themselves with the anti slavery movement.”
—Ashley Montagu (b. 1905)
