This would probably shocked you but it is really astonishing. Native Americans are even more genetically distant to Mongoloids than Somalians are to Caucasoids.
Even Somalians who are around 50-60% African 40-50% West Eurasian are genetically closer to Caucasoids including Europeans than Natives are to Mongoloids including the Filipinos (Luzon, Igorot) with the exception of WHG who is very distinct from modern day Europeans and Papuans who are also genetically divergent from other East Eurasians.
Just look at the distance between Somalians to Caucasoids

Heck even the Fulani, a nomadic African ethnic group from the Sahel, who are around 75% Negroid and 25% West Eurasian are genetically closer to Caucasoids than Native Americans are to Mongoloids.

What I am demonstrating is that the fact that even Somalis who are half SSA or Fulanis who are around 75% African are genetically closer to Caucasoids than Native Americans are to Mongoloids suggested that Natives are really divergent and different from "fellow Mongoloids" after 20,000 years of separation.
