Furthermore, you are confusing classifications. "Caucasians" tend to be generally used as a RACIAL classification while the term "Elongated East Africans" is used to classify an Ethnic group within a specific "Racial" classification.
You have it wrong, Elongated East African is an anthropological term that refers to an evolutionary tendency that results from adaptation to a hotdry climate:
"but as Hiernaux (1975) states, there had long been peoples with narrow
noses and faces, and less prognathism in East Africa, and migration from Eurasia was unnecessary to explain their presence. Hiernaux calls this morphological trend ‘‘Elongated African’’ and postulates that it is the indigenous product of selection in a hotdry climate."

Its funny how you say Elongated east African is an ethnic group when you don't even know what an Elongated East African is.
