The early settlement of anatomically modern humans in MSEA dates back to at least 65 thousand years ago (kya) and is associated with the formation of a hunter-gatherer tradition called Hoabinhian. Since the Neolithic period, which dates to about ~4,000-5,000 years ago, cultural transitions and diversification have happened multiple times..
...Vietnam has a population size of more than 96 million people comprising 54 official ethnic groups; 110 languages are spoken in the country. To date, there are hundreds of ethnolinguistic groups in MSEA, speaking languages belonging to five major language families: Austro-Asiatic (AA), Austronesian (AN), Hmong-Mien (HM), Tai-Kadai (TK), and Sino-Tibetan (ST).
Yet, the genetic diversity of Vietnam has remained relatively unexplored, especially with genome-wide data, because previous studies have focused mainly on the majority Kinh group...
"We find that the Vietnamese ethnolinguistic groups harbor multiple sources of genetic diversity that are associated with heterogeneous ancestry sharing profiles in each language family," said corresponding author Nong Van Hai. First author Dang Liu added, "However, the linguistic diversity does not completely match genetic diversity; there have been extensive interactions between the Hmong-Mien and Tai-Kadai groups, and a likely case of cultural diffusion in which some Austro-Asiatic groups shifted to speaking Austronesian languages.
On a global scale, the strongest signal separates most Indian groups from the East Asian groups. They also found evidence that the majority group Kinh, which have been the focus of previous studies, may not reflect the total Vietnamese diversity. Within modern Vietnamese groups, individuals from the same language family are mostly placed together. Within these language families, the ST, HM, and TK groups are mostly separated from AA and AN groups. Vietnam ethnolinguistic groups overall tend to show the closest relationships with Taiwanese and southern Chinese groups.

I will. How do I capture all the links? Just cut and paste them from your last post? Or do you have them together in some other off-site list?
One that would get them angry..momma San has hair
on her arm.
Thanks! I'd clock the "reply" to message 2, then in the browser list source, and copy that code into Notepad or other text editor. I'd try sending the HTML in a FReepmail message, but it would overflow the capacity and take several messages to get there.
I like the food too.
Or a link to a website that had all the links instead of the 4 foot tall in a post : )
I am starting out doing it in Excel.
Saved all 583 links as HTML/URL links in the first column. Done.
Now I can use the other columns to identify a category for each post (likely geographic) and where possible date/date periods.
Eventually I can then sort things by those columns, from which I can make lists by the categories).
I am also parsing the link titles, extracting the posting year, and making a separate column for that as well.
I will not devote all my time to it.
With other things I am doing it will be ?????? days before I am done.
Along the way I will add any new posts you put up.
Let you know how goes it.
I will see about doing that - with SunkenCiv??? - when I have the categorizing project done. The issue of course will be a suitable site/host for it.
Du Ma!
This is a middle-sized list, good place to start, and thanks again, if I add anything I’ll try to remember to message it over. As noted above, this is the “ancientnavigation” keyword.
I’ve columnized the really large lists in the past, using TABLE tags — but the easiest way is to split it by (for example) year, and just post them in individual posts.
My best proficiency with all kinda of large tables, when working on a regular PC without setting up a database or SQL dataset, either with number data, text data, or both, and then outputting results in different formats has been with Excel. I have no time for a learning curve on something else for this sort of thing.
“I may know a good reason for this really showing up in the mid-1960’s.....”
The Chinese, French, and Japanese also bear a share of the responsibility.
The Vietnamese suffered terribly at the hands of them all, and lastly the communists. On the positive side, Soviet analysts estimated the Vietnam War caused the Soviet Union to collapse ten years earlier than it otherwise would have.
