Abstract Genetic research into Southeast Asia's “negritos” has revealed their deep-rooted ancestry, with time depth comparable to that of Southwest Pacific populations. This finding is often interpreted as evidence that negritos, in contrast to other Southeast Asians, can trace much of their ancestry directly back to the early dispersal of Homo sapiens in the order of 70 kya from Africa to Pleistocene New Guinea and Australia. One view on negritos is to lump them and Southwest Pacific peoples…

The Skeletal Phenotype of “Negritos” from the Andaman Islands and Philippines Relative to Global Variation among Hunter-Gatherers
  • J. Stock
  • Biology, Medicine
    Human biology
  • 2013
TLDR
The skeletal phenotype of Andaman Islanders and Aeta foragers from the Philippines is investigated in the context of the phenotypic variation among other hunter-gatherers globally, to test whether they show a common, unique physique apart from small body size.
The Andaman Islanders in a Regional Genetic Context: Reexamining the Evidence for an Early Peopling of the Archipelago from South Asia
TLDR
The genetic evidence from genome-wide autosomal single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data is reviewed for a shared history between the tribes of Little Andaman (Onge) and Great Andaman, and between these two groups and the rest of South and Southeast Asia (both negrito and non-negrito groups).
Ancient Genomics Reveals Four Prehistoric Migration Waves into Southeast Asia
TLDR
It is found that early genomes from Hoabinhian hunter-gatherer contexts in Laos and Malaysia have genetic affinities with the Ongehunter-gatherers from the Andaman Islands, while Southeast Asian Neolithic farmers have a distinct East Asian genomic ancestry related to present-day Austroasiatic-speaking populations.
What's in a Name? “Negritos” in the Context of the Human Prehistory of Southeast Asia
TLDR
The evidence presented in this double issue of Human Biology speaks more against the category of “negrito” than for it, and the articles in this volume reexamine this hypothesis in a range of different ways.
Introduction: Revisiting the “Negrito” Hypothesis: A Transdisciplinary Approach to Human Prehistory in Southeast Asia
TLDR
The consensus reached by the contributors to this special double issue of Human Biology is that there is not yet conclusive evidence either for or against the negrito hypothesis, but the process of revisiting the problem will benefi t the knowledge of the human prehistory of Southeast Asia.
Early Occupation of Southeast Asia: Dental-Skeletal Evidence
The evolution of Homo sapiens and their early human diaspora into Southeast Asia were clearly significant events in human prehistory. This chapter presents a brief review of some of the…
Why Have the Peninsular “Negritos” Remained Distinct?
TLDR
A survey of current views on the “negrito” phenotype suggests that the phenotype originated recently and by biologically well-authenticated processes from within the neighboring populations, and that their continued distinctiveness has resulted from a wish to maintain a complementary advantage vis-à-vis other, less specialized populations.
Complete mitochondrial DNA genome variation in Peninsular Malaysia
The peopling of Southeast Asia has been vigorously debated over the past few decades by archaeologists, linguists and anthropologists, as well as evolutionary and population geneticists. Several…
Genetic architecture of dusunic, murutic and paitanic ethnic groups of Sabah, Malaysia as revealed by high density genotyping arrays
The native ethnic groups of Sabah are categorized under the 'North Borneo' stock of the Austronesian linguistic family. It is generally believed that the native groups of Northern Borneo are…
Mitochondrial DNA Polymorphisms of the Saisiyat Indigenous Group of Taiwan, Search for a Negrito Signature
TLDR
Most likely, the physical characteristics, languages, and the genetic makeup of the Negritos in Taiwan have been diluted as the result of heavy migration from the mainland in the last 400 years.

Phylogeography and ethnogenesis of aboriginal Southeast Asians.
TLDR
Analysis of mitochondrial DNA genome sequences from Peninsular Malaysia suggests an ancestry in Indochina around the time of the Last Glacial Maximum, followed by an early-Holocene dispersal through the Malay Peninsula into island Southeast Asia.
Dental perspectives on the population history of Southeast Asia.
TLDR
The results of this study are consistent with the immigration hypothesis, but analysis of additional Neolithic samples is needed to determine the exact timing of population dispersals into Southeast Asia.
Genetic diversity and evidence for population admixture in Batak Negritos from Palawan.
TLDR
It is shown that the Batak are genetically distinct from Negrito populations of the Andaman Islands and Malay Peninsula and instead bear most resemblance to geographically proximate Philippine Negritos and to non-Negrito populations from the Philippines and Island SEA.
The Andaman Islanders in a Regional Genetic Context: Reexamining the Evidence for an Early Peopling of the Archipelago from South Asia
TLDR

Indian Craniometric Variability and Affinities
TLDR
Demonstration of a distinctive South Asian craniometric profile and the intermediate status of northern Indians between southern Indians and populations northwest of India confirm the predominantly indigenous ancestry of northern and especially southern Indians.
“Small Size” in the Philippine Human Fossil Record: Is it Meaningful for a Better Understanding of the Evolutionary History of the Negritos?
TLDR
A new analytical approach using three-dimensional geometric morphometrics is presented for comparing the Callao fossil to a wide array of extant Asian mammals, including nonhuman primates and H. sapiens; the results demonstrate that the shape of the callao metatarsal is definitely closer to humans than to any other groups.
A mitochondrial stratigraphy for island southeast Asia.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that mitochondrial DNA diversity in the region is extremely high and includes a large number of indigenous clades, suggesting that, if an agriculturalist migration did take place in ISEA, it was demographically minor, at least with regard to the involvement of women.
Denisova admixture and the first modern human dispersals into Southeast Asia and Oceania.
TLDR
The results indicate that Denisova gene flow occurred into the common ancestors of New Guineans, Australians, and Mamanwa but not into the ancestors of the Jehai and Onge and suggest that relatives of present-day East Asians were not in Southeast Asia when the DenisovaGene flow occurred.
Races of Homo sapiens: if not in the southwest Pacific, then nowhere
TLDR
Analysis of cranial average measurements indicated that the autochthonous populations of the southwest Pacific would be more likely to satisfy Mayr and Ashlock's definition of a subspecies than any other division of humanity.
