POV check date July 2010 Typology in anthropology is the categorization of the human species by races, based solely on traits that are readily observable from a distance such as head shape, skin color, hair form, body build, and stature.

Coon ref Coon, Carleton S. The Origin of Races 1962 ref . The typological model was built on the assumption that humans can be assigned to a race based on similar physical traits.
