[edit] Origin of the Negrito
You're absolutely right; when I have some free time, hopefully in the next few days, I'll try to see if there's any literature out their on the genetic composition of the Mani, etc. Kevin Borland, Esq. 21:27, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, haplogroup results for Mani (if any exist), as well as other Negrito groups, would be very good. Badagnani 21:29, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- There's some info at Negrito#Origins. It seems to confirm Spencer Wells's theory of an eastward outmigration of H. sapiens from East Africa 50-60 thousand years ago. Badagnani 21:32, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] First immigrants
It's assumed from the text that the Mani were the first humans to enter Southeast Asia. Is this correct? If so, what about earlier species of Homo, such as Homo erectus? This should be mentioned. Badagnani 06:02, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
