Burmese or Filipinos: who is more Caucasoid?

[GaneshD'Souza]

I have run some Aeta and Agta results and I was surprised to found out that that more than half of their genes are Mongoloid Austronesian admixed.

What is surprising? Aetas and Agtas technically are Austronesians because they speak Austronesian languages. Aetas and Agtas have been living with Austronesians for 5,000 years. They can range in looks.



Many look like regular Filipinos. Both Negrito Filipinos and Austronesian Filipinos are a mixture of both Negrito and Austronesian. It's just that Negritos are around 50/50, while Austronesian Filipinos are around 90/10

But the Aetas they are testing are probably the ones who are more mixed because they're easier to access. More remote Aetas will be more Negrito

I believe Family Tree DNA/FTDNA is one of the few DNA companies that ships to the Phils. You can try that test first and then later upload your results to Gedmatch or 23andme (although Gedmatch is much more reliable in my opinion).

I haven't. It's not like any of these actually ship here.

We have relatively much fewer testers,but here is one Timorese girls Ancestry DNA and my Ambonese Moluccan moms AncestryDNA.Both have two Orang Timur (Moluccan/Timorese,etc) parents so the mixes are ancient and or Colonial.

Timorese:

Ambonese Moluccan

Thanks. The Timorese DNA result seem to be almost Mestico level (around 39% White). Is that level of Euro common among Timorese?

The 1% Scotland in the Ambonese Moluccan is legit?

Where do you think in Eastern Indonesia these two individuals come from (I don't have their 23andme or AncestryDNA)?: https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...98#post7035298

I think based on the DNA tests of Timorese and Moluccan I seen that we have the least South Asian in our region,but I cant agree with the least European.We were some of the first Christian converts outside of Europe and the Near East and the Capítol city of Maluku,Ambon was literally started by Western European traders.That along with the infamous Spice Trade being centered in Maluku would beg to differ.

Interesting. Well all the Moluccan samples that I have from Gedmatch seems to show around 1-5% Caucasoid admixture and they seem to be mostly European derived rather than Indian or MENA.

In fact, it seems like almost all the Indonesian gedmatch kits that I have from Sumatra to Maluku, have West Eurasian/Caucasoid admixture from around 1 to 16% with even some samples who have recent Arab ancestry and are thus around 25% Caucasoid. The average Indonesian seem to have 5.4% Caucasoid ancestry based on almost all the results that I run using PuntDNAL Global K13. Most of the Caucasoid ancestry seems to be South Asian-derived followed by MENA and European. The most West Eurasian/Caucasoid admixed island seem to be Sumatra followed by Java and the least Caucasoid admixed area seems to be those from interior Borneo or somewhere in Eastern Indonesia near Oceania.

Isn't interesting how Indian and Arab traders, settlers and later European colonists like the Dutch and Portuguese could have such a massive genetic impact on the whole archipelago, giving Caucasoid admixture to almost every Indonesian sample in Gedmatch?
