Ok, after doing some research and running across some articles about how some human remains in the Linzi/Liangchun areas of the Shandong province, I decided to ask you peeps a few more questions.
This is in regards to the the remains found in the Shandong region dated 2,500 years ago (about 500 BCE). One thing, were there Caucasoids within these areas? If so, how many? Or is it wrong/inconclusive to conclude them to be entirely European since this population lived 2,500 years ago.
To anybody, any proper information helps. Thanks.

Perhaps some background information on this new recent discovery would be helpful?
Why would there be Caucasoids in Shandong 2,500 years ago?

They could be turkish or other Central Asian Steepe peoples, not necessary Europeans.
Like what I mean of Turkish peoples, it's not just the people of turkey but a whole range or different ethnic groups throughout Central Asia that form a type of family due to some commonality like language similarities, nomadic cultural influences, etc, so I guess a better term would be turkic peoples,
Supposedly, the Turkic peoples are related to the Mongols and other Northern nomadic tribes, they even have a legend where they claim to be descendents from some Mongol village, but it's not a pretty legend though.
I want to go deeper, but I can see how this might thread might turn very controversial and I might not have the most PC or historically correct terminology to describe, so I'll leave it for now until more posts later.
