Other names South Siberian race!
In racial anthropology, some authors have introduced the Turanid race as a sub-race of the greater Caucasian race, to describe the populations native to Central Asia. The name is taken from the phylum of Turanian languages, which are the combination of the Uralic and Altaic families, hence also referred to as the term Ural–Altaic race.
The latter usage implies the existence of a Turanid racial type or "minor race", subtype of the Caucasoid (Europid) race with Mongoloid admixtures, situated at the boundary of the distribution of the Mongoloid and Europid "great races". The idea of a Turanid race came to play a role of some significance in Pan-Turkism or "Turanism" in the late 19th to 20th century. A "Turkish race" was proposed as a Europid subtype in European literature of the period.
This literature was absorbed by the Ottoman elite, and was partly even translated into Ottoman Turkish, contributing to the idea of an essence of "Turkishness" (Türklük) the honour of which came to be protected under Turkish law until the revision of article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code in April 2008. The most influential of these sources were Histoire Générale des Huns, des Turcs, des Mongoles, et autres Tartares Occidenteaux (1756–1758) by Joseph de Guignes (1721–1800), and Sketches of Central Asia (1867) by Ármin Vámbéry (1832–1913), which was on the common origins of Turkic groups as belonging to one race, but subdivided according to physical traits and customs, and l’histoire de l’Asie (1896) by Leon Cahun (1841–1900), which stressed the role of Turks in "carrying civilization to Europe", as a part of the greater "Turanid race" that included the Uralic and Altaic speaking peoples more generally. There was also an ideology of Hungarian Turanism in Hungarian fascism.
Appearance:
Characteristic features: the face is tall, broad, markedly flattened, the hair is straight or wavy, usually black, a large percentage of mixed shades of the eyes, a nose with a convex or straight back, usually noticeably protruding, lips of medium thickness. It differs from the similar Uralic race by a greater degree of Mongoloid features: large face and head sizes in general, greater epicanthic frequency, darker pigmentation, and a lower incidence of concave nasal backs.
Von Aikstedt distinguished two subtypes of the Thuranids: aralids and pamirids. The pamirids of Aikstedt are characterized by the following features:
brachycephaly,
converging parietal walls,
almost straight beard medium abundance,
long and broad face,
a long and often convex nose with a high root,
eyes with high orbits and strongly developed eyelids.
