" The first great civilisations were either Caucasoid (Sumerian, Canaanite, Harappan) or partly so (I think Egyptians were more Semitic-Ethiopian like)." Dr Stephen Oppenheimer, in his book, Eden In The East, and Dr Robert Schoch, in his book, Voyages Of The Pyramid Builders, make reasonable arguments that the first Sumerians were refugees from Sundaland, in SE Asia, that went underwater about 8,000 years ago.

Would be fascinating to trace everybody back to at least 10000 BC. There is probably enough evidence scattered everywhere if we just keep digging. The Sumerians came from northern Europe.

I've seen your earlier post. That idea does seem like a flight of fancy considering the lack of evidence, but it can't be discounted. however, the Sumerians would seem to still be Caucasoid in race
