Iberian race

This article is about the outdated racial concept. For modern-day Iberians, see Spanish people and Portuguese people. For the ancient Georgians, see Kingdom of Iberia. For the ancient people in the Iberian Peninsula, see Iberians.

The Iberian race is an obsolete racial classification of humans based on a now-disproven theory of biological race. It is said to have major populations in Spain and Portugal (the Iberian Peninsula), hence its name.[1] According to The Journal of African American History, the Moroccan Berbers also belong to the Iberian race.[2] The race also spread to the French areas of Aquitaine and Pyrénées-Orientales.[3]
