>the Mongoloid group of peoples to this day still have a substantially higher IQ than average

You're claiming haplogroup C3 has substantially higher IQ scores than other groups. Do you have evidence of this?

He didn't claim that. Mongoloid means East Asian, not the Mongolian people.
That 19th century definition of Mongoloid is nonsensically arbitrary, so instead I was interpreting it in as generous a way as possible: residents of Mongolia or Haplogroup C3

The closest relatives of Genghis Khan, whom he claims is the source of superior intelligence, live overwhelmingly in modern day Mongolia and Kazakhstan. They are more related to Navajos than to modern Chinese, Japanese, Koreans or whoever else fits in that 19th century definition of "Mongoloid".
