Aryan race
The
Aryan race
was a
racial grouping
commonly used in the period of the late 19th century to the mid-20th century to describe peoples of
European
and
Western Asian
heritage. It derives from the idea that the
original speakers of the Indo-European languages
and their descendants up to the present day constitute a distinctive
race
or subrace of the putative
Caucasian race
.
