The Negroid races are native in Africa, Australia, and the adjacent 

 islands. The homes of the Mongolian races are in northern and central 

 Asia, northern and eastern Europe, the Arctic regions (the Eskimos), 

 the East Indies (the Malays), many Pacific islands, and America (the 

 American Indian). The original homes of the Caucasian races included 

 southern and western Europe, northern Africa, and southern and south- 

 western Asia, but they have become the most widespread of all and are 

 now distributed over most of the surface of the earth.
