: Hi, was the Zhou lineage(the Ji family) of Mongoloid race or was it Caucasian? Some sources hint that they were Turks(Caucasoids) and thus introduced horse cavalry units and many war tactics into the former Shang state, which was a pure chinese(mongoloid) race.
I will be very surprised if the Ji family was of Turkish descent.
The origin of the Ji surname on our website shows that the Ji family
was a descent of the ancient Emperor, Huang Di, who was a Chinese.
Can you please provide us your sources which mention Ji as a Turkish race?
Thanks
