Leiotrichi

Leiotrichi is a term once used as classification of human races for a primitive race of people distinguished by their smooth hair. This classification was in use for decades. The French naturalist Jean Baptise Genevieve Marcellin Bory de Saint-Vincent used the term in his 1827 book Homo: Essai Zoologique sur le Genre Humain. Later, the term was also used by great natural scientists such as Charles Darwin and Thomas Henry Huxley.
