Which countries are Caucasian?
The Caucasus, or Caucasia, is a region between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, mainly occupied by Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and parts of Southern Russia. The Caucasus Mountains, including the Greater Caucasus range, have historically been considered a natural barrier between Eastern Europe and Western Asia. It is home to the Caucasus Mountains, which contain Europe's highest mountain, Mount Elbrus. It is famous for its spectacular peaks including Mt. Elbrus that divides the region into the North Caucasus and the South Caucasus.

The idea that white people are “Caucasians” partly stemmed from the widely held but erroneous belief that life originated in the Caucasus mountains. The idea that white people are “Caucasians” partly stemmed from the widely held but erroneous belief that life originated in the Caucasus mountains.
