Aryan race
The Aryan line is an obsolete historical race concept that emerged in the late-19th century to describe people of Proto-Indo-European heritage as a racial grouping. Anthropological, historical, and archaeological evidence does not support the validity of this concept.
The concept derives from the abstraction that the original speakers of the Proto-Indo-European language were distinct progenitors of a superior specimen of humankind, in addition to that their descendants up to the portrayed day constitute either a distinctive race or a sub-race of the Caucasian race, alongside the Semitic race and the Hamitic race. This taxonomic approach to categorizing human population groups is now considered to be misguided and biologically meaningless due to the close genetic similarity and complex interrelationships between these groups. The isomorphism of race, culture, and Linguistic communication has been rejected as an erroneous image by advanced scholars.
The term was adopted by various to be exterminated. In Nazi Germany, these ideas formed an essential component of the state ideology that led to the Holocaust.
