The term "Negroid" is an outdated classification historically used in anthropology to describe people of African descent, particularly those with certain physical characteristics such as darker skin, curly hair, and broader facial features. This classification was part of a broader system that categorized humans into different races based on physical traits. Today, the use of "Negroid" is considered inappropriate and offensive. Modern science recognizes that race is a social construct rather than a strict biological category. Current discussions focus on ethnicity and cultural identity, emphasizing the diversity within the African diaspora and the importance of individual experiences over outdated racial classifications.
