The Caspian race was a supposed sub-race of the Caucasian race in the context of a now-outdated model of dividing humanity into different races which was developed originally by Europeans in support of colonialism.[1] The term was used by M. G. Abdushelishvili (1979) as constituting a branch of the Mediterranean race or Irano-Afghan race.[2] In Soviet-era anthropology, the term was used to include Tats and Azerbaijanis.[3]
The Caspian race was said to be prevalent among the Azerbaijanis,[4][5][6] Kumyks and Tsakhurs.[7][8]
Genrietta Leonidovna Khit said that as a form of racial admixture the Caspian subtype was represented among Turkmens and Talyshs.[2][9]

American Association of Physical Anthropologists. Retrieved 19 June 2020. Instead, the Western concept of race must be understood as a classification system that emerged from, and in support of, European colonialism, oppression, and discrimination.

Азербайджанцы. Несмотря на значительные различия отдельных этнографических групп азербайджанцев по форме головы, в остальных признаках они сравнительно мало различаются между собой. Повсеместно преобладает каспийский тип и только в северных районах может быть прослежена некоторая примесь элементов кавкасионского типа.
