Was Central Asia once primarily Caucasoid?

predominant
/prɪˈdɒmɪnənt/Submit
adjective
present as the strongest or main element.

Their strongest element is Caucasoid. Your lack of grasp on the English language is not my problem.

So another word for mainly then. Would you describe someone as "mainly" something when they are a full one third to 40% of something else? There are different connotations for even similar words, and to use "predominantly" in this instance is misleading.

No it isn't. 60% Caucasoid 40% Mongoloid = Predominantly Caucasoid. Stop wasting my time.

Yes prior to mongol invasions they were most likely predominantly caucasoid. Tajikistan is a good example that resisted the mongol admix.

these are the averages for the 5 central asian countries, there will be regional variation but are averages from gedmatch. not sure how well they represent but lets assume that they do. Afghanistan is very diverse so its hard to do an average for them and its arguably more south central than central asian. but their average will be somewhere around turkmen range taking pashtuns, tajiks, hazaras, uzbeks all into consideration.

Central Asia - 70 million
Kyrgyz - 65% mongoloid, 35% caucasoid - 6 million
Kazakhs - 60% mongoloid, 40% caucasoid - 18 million
Uzbeks - 40% mongoloid, 60% caucasoid - 31 million
Turkmen - 20% mongoloid, 80% caucasoid - 6 million
Tajik - 15% mongoloid, 80-85% caucasoid. (Tajiks get 6% S.indian so i guess 3% ASI?) - 9 million

They are more caucasoid shifted genetically but every central asian population does have significant mongoloid admix. Uzbekistan is the most populous central asian country and they are slightly more caucasoid than mongoloid. Phenotypically though I think they'd appear more east asian to people outside the region. Hazaras and Uyghurs are roughly half mongoloid half Caucasoid as well but they appear more mongoloid as a whole. The central asian invaders that came to the subcontinent were uzbeks so they probably appeared 'chinese/mongol' with facial hair to an average indian.

but even small mong can look quite dominant , many Afghans look like Bruce lee and jackie Chan even though they are most caucasoid central Asians.

Those are Hazaras. And they're about as Caucasoid as Uzbeks are.

Tajiks can look very mongoloid as well from my experience , tbh from what i have seen significant portion of non pashtun Afghans regardless of ethnicity show some visible mong admixture in phenotype.

Hazaras are 50/50.

Many Bangaldeshi score 20% East Asia. Do they look like Bruce Lee?

The earliest Tocharians could have passed in the British isles, Germany, Sweden, Czech Republic, which the present inhabitants of their final homeland and the adjacent surrounding countries cannot.
