Giuseppe Sergi war ein italienischer Anthropologe, der vor allem für seine Ablehnung des Nordizismus und seine Werke zur rassischen Identität der Mittelmeervölker bekannt ist. Er lehnte die damals vorherrschenden rassischen Typologien ab, die die Mittelmeervölker als „dunkle Weiße“ bezeichneten, da diese eine nordizistische Vorstellung ihrer Abstammung von Weißen implizierten, die sich rassisch mit Nicht-Weißen vermischt hatten, was er als falsch bezeichnete. Sergi definierte die Mittelmeerrasse als eine autonome braune Rasse und postulierte, dass die nordische Rasse von der Mittelmeerrasse abstamme, deren Haut nach der Wanderung nach Norden zu einer hellen Färbung depigmentiert sei. Dieses Konzept wurde für die Modellierung von Rassenunterschieden im frühen zwanzigsten Jahrhundert bedeutsam.
