[QUOTE]Originally posted by Archeopteryx: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: Not to mention Paleo-Americans and prehistoric Siberians who also exhibit "negroid" features. The same holds true for so-called "caucasoid" classification and the morphological features associated with that.[/QUOTE]Some Paleo-Americans had such features, while others had not. Like four skulls from Quintana Roo where the oldest had traits reminding of todays Arctic people, one was more like Europeans, one had traits reminiscent of both Asians and modern Native Americans and one had traits reminding of todays South American natives but also of Japanese people ( [URL=https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0227444]Hubbe et al 2020[/URL] ). So the morphology varied some among the oldest Americans, but genetically they were related. Even today skull morphology vary among Amerindians, which got some people in the 1800s to speculate about that "short skulled" natives were more related to Asians and "long skulled" natives were more similar to people from the Canary Islands ( [URL=https://digital.ub.umu.se/relation/496634]Retzius 1864[/URL] ) Yeah, Caucasian is also a very broad term that encompasses all kinds of people, with different skin colors, people from Africa, Europe and Asia. The so called "Negritos" are also interesting since they are not necessarily very close related to each other, or to Papuans and Australians. So both Caucasoid and Negroid are rather superficial designations, just like Black and White.
