"I believe Caucasians dominated this region at that time."

Early Mongoloids you mean, similar to some later Native Indian peoples (in Canada).

Mongoloids developed their unique epicanthal eye fold ("Oriental eyes") from the extreme cold weather of the Altay mountains. All Mongolians, most Koreans and Japanese and the majority of Chinese all have epicanthal eye folds. The latter batch (~10000 years ago) of Amerindians (those who settled in Canada) also have the fold. However, Asians who developed from proto-Mongoloids like the Southeast Asians (Vietnamese and Philipinos), do not have the epicanthal fold.

"Early Mongoloids you mean, similar to some later Native Indian peoples (in Canada)."

Nope. Bonafide Caucasians. Victor Mair, in his excellent book, The Tarim Mummies, quotes an Indian archaeologist (N Narain) as believing that all Europeans descended from this region.

Further, Professor Stephen Oppenheimer, says that 50% of the DNA of Europeans originated in the Indus valley from one man through the Middle East. The other 50% (approximately) came from one of his off-spring a thousand years or so later through Russia.

The oldest (undisputed) Mongoloid skeleton ever found is only 10,000 years old (re: Oppenheimer).

The Mongoloids of the North, with the epicanthal eye lids, flatter faces and lighter skin are descended from the Mongoloids of South East Asia.

Mongoloids (probably the Han) only began to show up in the skeletal record in the Xinjiang region about 100-200 BC. There were Caucasian only graveyards in that region all the way up until about 1300AD.
