Proto-Caucasoid.

Proto-Caucasoid.

Basically three elements exist among the Maori, usually mixed:
1: Proto-Europid
2: Palaemongolid (from original Polynesians who were from Taiwan)
3: Melanesid, which Polynesians acquired later in the Solomon Islands, and Papua

Especially the upper classes often belonged to the more progressive Protoeuropid type.

There's lots of evidence for Europid -pre-Maori- settlement.

Apparantly they were mostly eaten by the cannibal Maories.

I don't really take those theories seriously, however there is a native Proto-Europid element in East Asia, which can be seen in some Siberians, the Ainu people (and consequently the Japanese), and also the Taiwanese, who were the original Polynesians, that later became admixed to a degree with Melanesians.
