Explanation
The quoted description—“yellow complexion, oblique eyes, high cheek bones, sparse hair and medium height”—matches the classic Mongoloid racial profile. Book sources describe Mongoloids as having a light yellow colour with oblique eyes and short/flat face morphology [1]. Anthropological summaries further record high, flat cheekbones and oblique (epicanthic) eyes with a short-to-medium stature for Mongoloid populations [2]. Additional references note yellowish complexion together with scanty or sparse facial and body hair as typical Mongoloid traits [3]. By contrast, Nordic Aryans are typically tall and fair-haired, Negroids have dark skin and abundant curly hair, and Austrics/Australoids are dark-complexioned with plentiful hair—making Mongoloid the correct match for the description.
