Outdated grouping of human beingsThe Turanid race is a now-discredited concept to describe a subdivision of the “Caucasian race”, traditionally held to be most common among the populations native to Central Asia. The Turanid race concept was an outgrowth of Scientific racism which was developed originally by Europeans in the 1700s and 1800s to support colonialism. The name is taken from Turanian languages, which are the combination of the Uralic and Altaic families, hence also referred to as the term Ural–Altaic race.
Anthropologists of the 19th and early 20th century posited the existence of a Turanid racial type or "minor race", subtype of the “Caucasoid” race with some “Mongoloid” admixture, situated at the boundary of the distribution of the “Mongoloid” and “Caucasoid” races.
The idea of a Turanid race came to play a role of some significance in Pan-Turkism or "Turanism" in the late 19th to 20th century. A "Turkish race" was proposed as a Caucasoid subtype in European literature of the period.
The most influential of these sources were Histoire Générale des Huns, des Turcs, des Mongols, et autres Tartares Occidentaux (1756–1758) by Joseph de Guignes (1721–1800), and Sketches of Central Asia (1867) by Ármin Vámbéry (1832–1913), which was on the common origins of Turkic groups as belonging to one race, but subdivided according to physical traits and customs, and l’histoire de l’Asie (1896) by Leon Cahun (1841–1900), which stressed the role of Turks in "carrying civilization to Europe", as a part of the greater "Turanid race" that included the Uralic and Altaic speaking peoples more generally. There was also an ideology of Hungarian Turanism most lively in the second half of the 19th century and in the first half of the 20th century.
