Information About

Arctic Race




Arctic race is supposedly the race of the indigenous peoples of Arctic North America according to 19th century naturalist Louis Agassiz 1807-1873 in his book Essay on Classification (1851).


REASONING

Agassiz believed all animals, plants and human "species" (races) could be classified by climatic zones. He therefor defined the people of the arctic as a unique race.
