One of the five macro-racial groups often recognized by physical anthropologists (along with Negroids, Australoids, Caucasoids and Mongoloids). Though only numbering a few hundred thousand, they are as genetically distinct from the other major African population, the Negroids, as they are from Australoids and Eurasians, and thus are considered to be one of the major branches of humanity. Two ethnic groups make up the Capoid race: the Khoi and the San. Typical Negroid Skull Negroid describes the racial classification of humans from Equatorial Africa, North Africa, parts of the Indian subcontinent, and some areas of southeast [[asia], and was one of the four major races as recognized by nineteenth century racial theories. ... Australoid describes the racial classification of humans primarily from Australia as well as areas of Asia or Oceania, and was one of a varying number of races defined by various racial theories. ...

That is a likely scenario, that the Capoids (Khoi, Bushmen) are the ancestors of Mongoloids.
Think about it, the only two races to have epicanthal folds are Capoids and Mongoloids, so there just might be some kind of relationship between them.
Also this so called Capoids are Nubians, not another "race". They have very similar features like any other Africans apart from the eyes, yet I explained that Pygmies also have that feature as well.
So there is some connection between the two ethnic groups but it is incorrect to say they belong to the same race family as the Dravidians further have caucasoid skulls and race is based on the basis on skull-structure.
The Capoid race is a subgroup of the African race and are racially very close to the Caucasoid race (e.g.
The historical Berbers are an example of a Capoid group.
