Neo-Mongoloid

Neo-Mongoloid also known as Northern Mongoloid is a historical term used to refer to a sub-type of the Mongoloid race classified by William W. Howells. In Japan, Kazuro Haniwara and Keiichi Omoto use this terminology. Neo-Mongoloid is adapted to cold clamate in Siberia, that is the fundamental difference from Proto-Mongoloid.

The term, Neo-Mongoloid, was used to refer to the populations of the Mongolian Plateau, the Korean peninsula, northern China, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Siberia, Alaska, Greenland and other parts of the Arctic.

Compared to Proto-Mongoloid, Neo-Mongoloid generally has single eyelid, epicanthic folds at inner corners of eyes, a flat face, little body hair, straight hair, thin lips, dry earwax, a tall and strongly-build body, and much brain volume.

These characters are considered to be adaptation to cold climate. Single eyelid and an epicanthic fold at inner corners of eyes protect the eyes against frostbite. Dry earwax prevents ears from freezing. Little body hair is not to freeze droplet attached to the hair. A tall and strongly-build body and a flat face are effective to keep body heat (Bergmann's rule).
