Standard College Dictionary, Harcourt, Brace and World: Race: "One of the major zoological subdivisions of mankind, regarded as having a common origin and exhibiting a relatively constant set of genetically determined physical traits. On the basis of the more commonly used criteria such as pigmentation, hair form, epicanthic folds, facial and bodily proportions, mankind has been divided into primary stocks or races, each of which is regarded as including a varying number of ethnic groups. According to some, the primary stocks are the Caucasoid, the Mongoloid, and the Negroid. A number of groups, such as the Polynesian, are of doubtful classification."
