Giuseppe Sergi fut un anthropologue italien, surtout connu pour son opposition au nordisme et ses ouvrages sur l'identité raciale des peuples méditerranéens. Il rejeta les typologies raciales alors dominantes qui qualifiaient les peuples méditerranéens de "blancs foncés", car celles-ci impliquaient une conception nordiste de leur descendance de Blancs ayant été mélangés racialement à des non-Blancs, ce qu'il affirmait être faux. Sergi définit la race méditerranéenne comme une race brune autonome, postulant que la race nordique descendait de la race méditerranéenne, dont la peau s'était dépigmentée vers un teint pâle après s'être déplacée vers le nord. Ce concept devint significatif dans la modélisation de la différence raciale au début du XXe siècle.
