This ties rather directly to the "Negritos" of Southeast Asia who may be the descendants of these first peoples. They are spread through the region including those who live in the Andaman Islands and who refuse all contact with the outside world. A lot of the majority population today are identified with groups moving south from China and particularly Taiwan.

[Alas Babylon!]

And the Polynesians, originally from Taiwan, are blended in with the Melanesians they found along the way.

If you follow the people's looks from the Northwest to the Southeast, you'll see it:

Taiwanese

Philippino

East Indonesian

New Guinean

New Britain

Guadalcanal

Espiritu Santo

Fiji

Somoa

Tahitian

Easter Islander

Finally, Hawaiians

And Maoris from New Zealand

You can tell that the Taiwanese start out as a Mongoloid race, and as you go toward New Guinea, people get darker and their hair is more curly until at Papua New Guinea the people are very Australiod (proper name for the Australian Aborigines). Then the people to the East (New Britain- Espiritu Santo--Fiji-Samoa) from very dark and Australiod to more light and less Australiod, until the Polynesians at the very end point of their epic discoveries are the most mixed and neither of their original races.

Humans may have exited out of Africa and arrived in Southeast Asia 20,000 years earlier than previously thought, a new study involving University of Queensland researchers suggests.

Brain Drain.

Thanks, I read this earlier and found it very interesting, These dates just keep getting pushed back more and more. There is a whole lot we still do not know yet but it’s getting there.

Asian Homo Erectus skulls (pre-dating the modern Homo Sapien migration out of Africa) frequently have shovel incisors.

Modern asian Homo Sapien skulls after erectus was replaced by the modern African humans also frequently have shovel incisors. This contradicts the Out-of-Africa theory - but don't talk about it 'cuz that would hurt a lot of people's feelings.

So does this book. Don't read it.
