Pesonally, I prefer the term "albino mutants" to "albino savages". Both of these terms encapsulate Oppenheimer's paradigm shift about world populations. The basic regional populations are temporally related to each other by evolution and not miscegenations of pure original races.
I think it is pretty much settled that mutant albinism was a late derived trait originating in the Zagros of Persia-armenia-kurdistan with backflow trajectory into North Africa (Berbers) and further extreme selection as these original Indic populations moved into N. Europe. Oppenheimer has the evidence that Berbers are derived not from the original L3 (african), but from a late derived backflow from a mature S. Asian population which settled in the Zagros/Levant. Euro albinos must be seen in the same light in what was a parallel more northerly migration from the Zagros/Levant (separate from the Berbers). Given the Independent Berber migration, we must theoretically conclude that Central Asians are derived from an independent C. Asian EXPANSION (not trajectory) from the Zagros/Indus, (and not from some mysterious euro back-back-migration). The more empirical evidence:
1. Anthropologist mallory ties the dental patterns in tarim Basin as Harrapan-derived indodont.
2. Kak derives the clovis skull as indodont. Thus, the mammoth hunter component in Native Americans must be specifically Indian (not E Euro), and C Asia must be seen as a staging area for successive Indus/zAGROS trajectories into siberia and beyond.
3. Oppenheimer backs up Kak with genetic evidence for a C3 trajectory from Indus through C. Asia into siberia into beringia before LGM. There is a split in C. Asia with one branch heading into Siberia- the other into E europe. Haplo X is the counterpart to C3. This scenario is repeated at various time depths.
Conclusion: Central Asians are local expansions from the SOUTH (Zagros) into the pamirs with a separate Southern mongoloid component that came up the brahmaputra.

Again, the southern origins of albinism and its extreme northern transformation is mirrored in the east where the original neoteny of the Southern Mongoloids was amplified by selective criteria as these southern populations moved up into brutal northern desert plains. We also we see the same-type albino selection operating in these more unique mongoloid populations.
