Who are the Mountain Yemenies?? why they look so different from coastal yemenies? their features are more Caucasian. Its surprising because Yemen is very south, almost near Somalia

This is most likely because they are separated by mountains. They may maintain a certain separation from the lowlands, as is common among mountain folk. Don't quote me on this though, this is an assumption based on geographical/cultural isolation.
