When Did First Caucasoid Man Appear? Was The Earliest Cro-magnon Caucasoid? What Caucasoid Characteristics Did Cro-magnon Have?
There is a lot of variability among female Upper Paleolithic European skulls. Some look "caucasoid" big noses, chins. While others (e.g. Grimaldi) retain some African characters alveolar prognathism, frontal bossing. The simple answer is that the category "caucasoid" does not really help one sort Pleistoceneage skulls into meaningful categories. The characteristics on which the classification is based really only sort out geographically among Holoceneage skulls (i.e., those less than 12,000 years old).
