Every single thing Waggoner writes is wrong or irrelevant.
I will go through this one by one.
Caucasoids are known in Asia in the Upper Paleolithic (Upper Cave 101 found at Zhoukoudkien in association with Aurignacian blades)
My understanding is that the skulls at Upper Cave 101 found at Zhoukoudkien pre-9000 YBP were Australoid. They are said to look like Aborigines.
no one believes Mongoloids evolved out of Australoids.
The basic Asiatic type is Australoid. Australoids were the first to populate the entire continent of Asia. Australoids certainly transitioned into Mongoloids in SE Asia, the Philippines and Taiwan.
The Ainu are the most ancient NE Asians of all, and their skulls are Australoid. Ainuids were in Thailand 21,000 YBP and in Japan 14,000 YBP. Ainuids are Australoids. It does indeed appear that the basic Asiatic type is Australoid. Surely, Australoids went to Mongoloid in SE Asia, Malaysia, Taiwan and the Philippines and probably in China. Southern Chinese skulls from 15,000 YBP look like Melanesians.
This man says “no one believes Mongoloids came out of Australoids.” He is wrong again. Actually the best anthropologists on Earth believe that Mongoloids came from Australoids. Vietnam’s finest anthropologist says on his webpage that Vietnamese and all SE Asian Mongoloids evolved from Australoids or Melanesians over 21,000 years. I will take his opinion over some Internet hack any day.
Caucasoids are known in Asia in the Upper Paleolithic (Upper Cave 101 found at Zhoukoudkien in association with Aurignacian blades) as well as at Malta-Buret.
I do not believe there are any Caucasoid skulls at Upper Cave 101 in Zhoukoudkien. I know nothing of Malta-Buret, but I have never heard of any ancient Caucasoid skulls in Asia.
Caucasoids are known in Asia in the Upper Paleolithic (Upper Cave 101 found at Zhoukoudkien in association with Aurignacian blades) as well as at Malta-Buret, which has been genetically linked to both Upper Paleolithic Europeans, Native Americans and Northwestern Europeans.
I am not certain what all this genetics is getting up to. Apparently Australoid Aborigine-type Zhoukoudkien Cave 101 skulls line up genetically with Paleomongoloid Amerindians and Paleomongoloid Upper Paleolithic Europeans? So we have two Paleomongoloid skulls lining up with one Australoid skull. This relates to Caucasoids how? Of what possible relevance is this? You mean back when Chinese people looked like Aborigines and European people looked like Amerindians they were genetically related?
The European or Caucasoid race as we know it is new. It has only been around for 15,000 years. Prior to that, Caucasoids looked like Paleomongoloids.
Upper Paleolithic European skulls from 22,000 YBP look more like skulls of the Makah Indians of the Pacific Northwest than anything else. Makah Indians are Paleomongoloids. So 22,000 YBP, “European Caucasians” looked like Paleomongoloid Amerindians.
Native American skulls are Caucasoid not “Paleomongoloid”.
Native American skulls do not look Caucasoid at all. Actually, their skulls are Mongoloid. Not one valid anthropologist on this planet says that Amerindians are Caucasoids. There is no need to put Paleomongoloid in quotes as it is a good description for types such as Ainuids, Amerindians and Taiwanese aborigines and possibly others.
Your analysis also fails to take in to account elevated levels of Neanderthal DNA in east Asians and especially Native Americans, as well as low Denisovan DNA compared to the higher levels found in Australoids.
I am not sure how Neandertal and Denisovan DNA is relevant to this discussion.
