superrace

Imagined dominant species

A superrace is a race of people considered superior to all others—a concept most associated with Nazi ideology, which held that "Aryans" constituted a master race destined to rule.

The term appears almost exclusively in discussions of racist ideology or in science fiction contexts describing genetically enhanced humans: The regime's propaganda promoted the myth of a superrace.
