Here are some old photographs of the Alifuru native tribes in Seram,Maluku.I think the dating must be early in the 20th century or the 19th century.Very interesting phenotypes,I wonder if they are their own Australoid race unto themselves.There are still the most isolated tribes in Seram deep in the jungle and mountanous interior who still look like this.I would reckon this is the original and pure Wallacean appearance,at least for Maluku.

Probably 40 to 60 percent Melanesian and the rest East Asian and Polynesian in what amounts,nobody knows..

I wonder what causes some Melanesians to have kinky hair while others wavy or more straight hair? Speaking from an evolutionary standpoint

We have varying levels of both Austronesian admixture and different levels of different types of Australoid admixture as well.Polynesians and Melanesians have more frizzy hair from more Papuan admixture,while Wallaceans and Australian Aborigines have darker skin and more wavy and curly hair and sometimes straight from more Veddoid or Ainuid type Australoid.I know because I took my own and other South Moluccans GEDmatch results and compared them to Samoans and we had different levels of Australoid but compareable levels of Austronesian.The Samoans had more Papuan and less Australian based on this particular GEDmatch algorithym,while us Moluccans had alot more Australian and less Papuan.But both the Moluccans and Samoans had both "Papuan" (or called MelanoPolynesian) and "Australian".Me thinks Australian is more of a rough archaic Veddoid or South Indian like Australoid type and MelanoPolynesian more of an Africoid type.And that is why Samoans and Tongans often look like mixed African Americans while Wallaceans look like South Indians or Sri Lankans.

Here is a couple of half blood Moluccans Ancestry results.Note the heavy Melanesian and even Polynesian percentages!

Half Ashkenazi Jewish (Romanian) and half Moluccan
