By the way, Mongoloids are pretty much defined by 370A mutation in the Edar gene (about which CrazyDaisy started a thread some time ago). This mutation is younger than haplogroup R1, which means that when first R1 people emerged, there were still no any Mongoloids around. As Genetiker wrote:
45–25 ka — proto-Mongoloids in Northern China, central and eastern Mongolia, and Transbaikalia evolve into Mongoloids. The 370A mutation in the EDAR gene results in Sinodonty, stiff hair, small breasts, and higher sweat gland density. The epicanthic fold is also evolved.
