Proto-Mongoloid
Proto-Mongoloid is an outdated racial classification of human beings based on a now-disproven theory of biological race. In anthropological theories of the 19th and 20th centuries, proto-Mongoloids were seen as the ancestors of the Mongoloid race.
Notable examples of fossils that were formerly thought to belong to the proto-Mongoloid group are found in Late Pleistocene fossils, notably the Minatogawa skeletons and the Liujiang crania.
