What race were the Iberomaurusians and how did they looked like?

Question is already in the title.

Good question lol! I know little about it... but i think they would look like Guanches ... Caucasoids, possibly mediterranean in appearance

[Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas]

My bet is that they would be mostly Cro-Magnon. Considering race, they were Caucasoid with a portion of SSA admixture.

This is a recent reconstruction based upon the bones and DNA analysis

Judging from the available DNA results, their caucasoid/cromagnon part probably is represented by their ~55% Dzudzuana ancestry, closely related to both WHGs and Gravettian Europeans. The rest is something either ancient African or deeply basal called "Ancestral north African" or ANA. I think the pure Mechtoids would be those groups of them that were little to no ANA. If I'm not mistaken, the set of skulls associated with the Iberomaurusians are indeed divided into two broad groups, one, earlier, formed by the Mechtoids and resembling Cromagnons, then a later intrusive group, more archaic. It makes sense to link mtDNA U6 to Cromagnons but not Y-DNA E.

That's actually an excellent explanation and I kinda agree with it. It seems Iberomaurusians were mainly a mix of Dzudzuana types and archaic African (pre-Negroid/Sub-Saharan) humans, some type of deep basal ancestry. Sub-Saharans also evolved partially from these populations, but they have an even more archaic Pygmy-like and Khoi-like ancestry that shifts them from other modern humans.

YDNA E likely comes from that archaic African population.
