^ So it looks like the average Filipino is around 1/16th Negrito, and 1/16th Melanesian, so the equivalent of 1 black great grandparent on average. haha

oh, and looks like the highest Negrito/Melanesian ancestry is in Mindanao, not Luzon like ejay believes.

I dare they test the australoid ancestry amongst the poorest in Luzon

I didn't say all of luzon has high negrito percentage....just around greater manila and southern luzon area

Of course the percentage would rise because the poorest in Luzon are the more Australoid Visayans!

Well Greater Manila would be classified as "West Luzon" so you can see the results on the chart. It has the smallest percentage of Negrito ancestry of all the Filipino groups on the chart (about 1/32nd). But then there's a slightly larger Melanesian component. We never even talk about that factor, but it's present in all the listed Filipino populations to some degree. And it makes sense because the Philippines is as close to Papua as it is to China. Random Melanesians probably ended up in the Philippines and absorbed into the general population.

People in the eastern coast of the Philippines resemble Melanesians a lot.

hmmm but on average slum peoples from Manila look closer to east timor then they do to other regions of philippines

Whaaat? Are you dreaming AGAIN?

no East Timor has 1/3rd to 1/2 melanesian component
poor people in manila look at the least 1/3rd and at the most 3/4

middle class are prob the 1/32 ur talking about

Most East Timorese are 100% Papuan. Only Tetun people and a few more peoples are Austronesian.

The distance does not matter...mindanao population is not from east timor...most of them are migrants from visayas

If you look at the chart it states the whole of luzon....I am talking about the poor areas of greater manila
And yes the poor people of Manila do look more like east timorese..because they have higher australoid admixture then the 1/16th that mindanao has
on average the whole of luzon may have 1/32th...but within the poor in manila itself the percentage would be more like 1/3rd or 3/4th

LOL. Again, the poor people of Greater Manila are VISAYANS, so naturally they'd look more Negrito.

umm australoids were not a seafaring people...negritos or melanesians had no seaworthy craft

its austronesians who settled in australoid populated areas....not the other way around

mindnao has some negrito or melanesian mixed ethnic minorities (manobo, etc)..but visayan and luzon migrants make up the majority of the population

LOL your kidding me right...many of the mt pinatubo aetas settled in manila
plenty of the ultra poor in manila look like australoid hybrids

lol there r 3/4th negrito or melanesians who just identify as tagalogs...

Lapita culture produced seafaring vessels. It is said that without the Melanesians and Austronesians blending, there would not settlements in the Pacific island chains.

Another lie! Aetas tend to stay where they were born. SOME went to Manila - and they WERE VERY MUCH DIFFERENT from the rest of the poor population (except for the poorest poor - who have strong Papuan/Australoid features). I saw them before. They live in tents along the North Expressway in Northern Manila - but ALL OF THEM went home to Pampanga because they couldn't take the hustle and bustle of city life. Today, the only slums in Manila are in Tondo and Payatas - both home to thousands of Visayan workers.

There are 1/2 Tagalog and 1/2 Negritos in the interior of Rizal province - they are a SEPARATE ethnic group called REMONTADOS. The Dumagats of Rizal And Aurora are themselves of mixed Austronesian + Papuan + Negrito lineage.
