The Mongolian race is one of the races defined by anthropologist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach in ''Handbuch der Naturgeschichte'' (1779). He defined the Mongolian race as including all East Asian s and some Central Asian s. This is a separate concept from the Mongoloid Race as defined by Carleton S. Coon , which included Southeast Asian s, Pacific Islander s, and American Indian s. Blumenbach excluded Southeast Asian islands from his definition as he considered them to be part of the Malay Race ; Pacfic Islanders as he considered them to be part of the Ethiopian Race ; and American Indians as he considered them to be part of the "American" race. He thought they were not inferior to the race he called Caucasian s and were potentially good members of society. |
