In ethnographic terms, Arabs belong to the Mediterranean local race, a subgroupof the Caucasoid geographic race. According to tradition, Arabs are descended from a southern Arabian ancestor, Qahtan, forebear of the "pure" or "genuine" Arabs (known as al-'Arab al-'Aribah), and a northern Arabian ancestor, 'Adnan, forebear of the "Arabicized" Arabs (al-'Arab al-Musta'ribah). A tradition, seemingly derived from the Bible, makes 'Adnan, and perhaps Qahtan also, descend from Isma'il (Ishmael), son of Abraham. The rivalry between the two groups spread,with the Muslim conquests, beyond Arabia; it even recurred in northern Yemen in the 1950s when the Zaydi imams, descendants of the Prophet Muhammad, a "northern" Arab, were called "'AdnØni."

NOTE: Muhammad the Prophet never traced his ancestors farther than AdnØn, and declared that all who went back further were guilty of fabrication and falsehood. "Beyond AdnØn none but the Lord knows and the genealogists lie."
