The word, with the same punctuation, will be on the front of a display, in the Natural History Museum by the turn of this century. Why? This display will house what used to be the white- skinned, distant relative of all brown-skinned people who will populate the Northern Hemisphere of North America.
That will be the white man's legacy, the mixing of the Races.

It means "white" or "anglo" - the term itself comes from the Caucasus Mountains which form the geographical barrier between Europe and Asia.

Do you know any "white" men? No more than you know any "black" men. You could say you know a darker man than the other and thier names are respectively Caucasoide and *******. Sounds like the name caucasian eminates from the Caucasus Mountains and the ******* is Spanish Latin meaning "black" but you and I both know the real color is mahogony or ebony or tikwood or chocolate etc.

Color coding humans is racist and ought to be avoided.
A Latin taxonomy, Caucazoid, was used to describe one of the three main races of homo sapien.
