What did the Ancient North Eurasians look like?

[AphroditeWorshiper]

like Kets or Selkups

They were american Indians.

Intriguingly, individuals of the Bronze Age Okunevo culture from the Sayano-Altai region (Fig. 1) are related to present-day Native Americans (Extended Data Fig. 2d), which confirms previous craniometric studies30. This finding implies that Okunevo could represent a remnant population related to the Upper Palaeolithic Mal’ta hunter-gatherer population from Lake Baikal that contributed genetic material to Native Americans

Actually The American Indians were half ANE, which was a Western Eurasian, predominantly Caucasoid population. The other half of Native Americans is a Han related group.

So are mestizos more caucasoid than we think they are?

Are Native Americans closer to Caucasoids then the Han? Yes, since they have direct ancestry from ANE. But Native Americans have diverged so much from other populations that they form their own components at low K's.

They were not olive-skinned. None of the ANEs to date carry the derived alleles for SLC24A5, SLC45A2, and so on. Unless they had their own unique depigmentation alleles that we don't know about- they would have been rather dark-skinned.

[HectorOfTroy]

Maybe they looked somewhat like these guys minus the coloration since its proven ANE had blonde hair pigmentation.

If native americans are Caucasoid (ANE) + Mongoloid (Those proto-mongoloid groups living alongside the ANE) then the more Caucasoid manifestations of their appearance must be the ANE showing I'd think.

Earliest native americans like Spirit Cave Mummy had almost entirely caucasoid features, probably some rare early branches of paleo americans that were mostly ANE i'd assume, although these mostly caucasoid paleo americans still looked apart from most europeans by the fact that they have ball-like protrusive cheekbones. Some eastern europeans also have these features, and I saw a genetic plot that Russians and Russian like groups score plot pretty closely to ANE sample/s.
