Not all 'Asians' are mongoloid, in fact most aren't. Likewise most Caucasoids aren't 'white', your mixing Americanised popular labels with outdated anthropology ones. There are numerous ways of classifying humans into groups and subgroups. And again, your are conviently avoiding the point that Turkic/Altaic isn't a race anymore than Afro-Asatic or Sino-Tibetian is. Hell, while where at it, why don't we pretend that all Caucasian Indo-European speakers are infact part of the Germanic Race, so clearly all those people are sub races of the proto-Germanic one, naturaly modern day Germans are the most pure.
you are just arguing semantics. besides i believe more then half of asia is in fact mongoloid
Kind of relevant when dealing with the notion of a 'Turkic race'.
If this proto-Turkic race is the ancestor of all modern Eurasians,
shouldn't we be looking in Africa for racialy Turkoid skeletons?
the idea of proto-turkic race was just something i threw out there to see what turks think to get a feel where they believe turks originated. since some turks on this board think caucasian turks are the "purest"
Today, the theory of native Americans being Central Siberian nomads
once is internationally accepted, and they belong to a totally
different race. They cant grow facial hair for example.
Hmmm, internationally accepted?
If anyone thinks that Turkish 'scholars' represent the international
scientific society, then OK, but it seems like the whole topic looks
quite different under the international perspective, since theories
vary.
Did ancient Polynesians visit California?
Maybe so.
Scholars revive idea using linguistic ties, Indian headdress
Scientists are taking a new look at an old and controversial idea:
that ancient Polynesians sailed to Southern California a millennium before
Christopher Columbus landed on the East Coast.
Key new evidence comes from two directions. The first involves revised
carbon-dating of an ancient ceremonial headdress used by Southern California's
Chumash Indians. The second involves research by two California scientists who
suggest that a Chumash word for "sewn-plank canoe" is derived from a
Polynesian word for the wood used to construct the same boat.
If you ask me, Polynesia is quite a long way from Siberia, add that to genetics and BINGO, we have their most probable origin.

To the gods we mortals are all ignorant.Those old traditions from our ancestors, the ones we've had as long as time itself, no argument will ever overthrow, in spite of subtleties sharp minds invent.
and instead of caucasians and mongoloids being separate races, they are
really sub-races of the proto-turk where proto-turkic tribes branched
off due to isolation during the ice ages. Meaning instead of turkic
peoples being a mix of whites and asian(like hispanics today in the
americas), whites and east asians originated from proto-turks? East
Asians branching off from proto-turks in Mongolia, with Nordics
branching off from proto-turks around Kalmykia region?
Humans originated in Africa, so if non-Turkic Eurasians branched off
from these Proto-Turks, then we must be able to trace this race of
Proto-Turks moving out of Africa and then branching off.
Also, Turkic is but one member of the Altaic family, Tngustic and
Mongolian being the other two main ones, so if anything you should be
looking for a proto-Altaic race.
Personaly i think trying to understand Turkicness in terms of a
Caucasoid vs Mongloid dichotomy is relativly useless, as it seems to be
that Turkic peoples were born out of the genetic melting pot of Central
Asia.
And of course, understanding the the spread of Turkic culture coems from just that, studying the culture and language.
If it intrests you, there is a hypothetical language super family
called Nostratic, that is a theorised mother of many Eurasian
languages, including the Indo-European, Uralic, Altiac (includes Turkic
languages), Caucasian, Afro-Asiatic and then some. Its basicly an idea
to understand the spraed of languages into much of Eurasia and how they
then brole up into their seperate families. Theres still alot of
skepticsm over the idea, but its an interesting one none the less.

point taken, i will look into this hypothetical Nostratic language famly
when a thread talks about origins of turks in mongolia, one must wonder what these turks in monoglia looked like back then

To their surprise, however, the researchers found that native Siberians lack one peculiar mutation that appeared in the Amerinds 6,000 to 10,000 years ago. This raises the question of where, if not from Siberia, this mtDNA originated.
It turns out, Dr. Wallace says, that this particular mutation pattern is also found in aboriginal populations in Southeast Asia and in the islands of Melanesia and Polynesia. This hints at what may have been "one of the most astounding migrations in human experience," he says. A group of ancient peoples moved out of China into Malaysia where they became sailors and populated the islands of the South Pacific.
Then some 6,000 to 12,000 years ago these ancient mariners made it to the Americas. "I don't know how they came," Dr. Wallace says. "They either came across the Pacific to Central and South America or they went up the east coast of Asia and across the northern Pacific to Alaska and Canada," he says. He already is examining mtDNA samples from natives of the Kamchatka Peninsula north of Japan to see if there is any mtDNA trace of these ancient sailors.
