The thing that has always bothered me is that the remnants are at the fringes. Adman Islands, Hottentots, Bushmen, and Abos and Melanesians. It is like an expanding balloon.

The prime example is Africa, don't make no sense.

Yup.

The oldest DNA in the world is found in a Negrito tribe in Malaysia. I used to know the name of these people, their name starts out with two o's Oo....(something)

Ah...here it is:

Oorang Asli

The name "Orang Asli" means "original people" or "first people". They all live on the Peninsular of Malaysia. Nowadays there about 60.000 Orang Asli people, of which 60% still live in the rain forest. About 40% Orang Asli live along or near the coast. Each has its own language and culture, and perceives itself as different from the others. Linguistically, some of the northern Orang Asli groups speak languages, that suggest a historical link with the indigenous peoples in Burma, Thailand and Indo-China. They are classified into three groups:
- Senoi
- Orang Malayu Asli
- Negrito
