It seems that the Negroid and the Caucasoid-Mongoloid groups diverged about 110,000 +/- 34,000 years ago, whereas Caucasoid and Mongoloid diverged about 41,000 +/- 15,000 years ago. The genetic relationships of various races in each group of Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid were also studied.

What is the difference between Australoid and Negroid?

Australoids are a unique group (according to genetic phenotypes and skull structure) who are completely different from Negroid (In fact Caucasians are actually closer to Negroid genetically than Australoid are to Negroid).
