Answer 1

The identification of a superior ethnic group in Africa because they have more European features is an example of scientific racism used during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This concept often involved pseudoscientific theories that sought to categorize and rank different races based on physical characteristics and supposed intellectual capabilities, often favoring those with features associated with European ancestry.
