Australoid
Aus tra loid |ˈôstrəˌloid ˈɔstrəlɔɪd |often offensive ▶adjective of or belonging to the division of humankind represented by Australian Aboriginal peoples. ▶noun a person belonging to this division of humankind. usage: The term Australoid, together with other terms such as Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid, belong to the systems of human classification developed by 19th -century anthropologists and physiologists and relate to outdated notions of race that have largely been abandoned. Such terms are potentially offensive today and, when referring to native peoples of a particular region, it is preferable, e.g., to refer to ‘Australian Aborigines ’ or to the names of specific peoples.
