^Aeta of Phillipines seem to look like a mix of mongoloid and negroid or australoid, like how all southeast Asian negritos do. It’s only Andaman Islanders it seems who look unmixed among negritos, unsurprisingly considering their geographic isolation.
Southeast Asian negritos look like they’re a mix of mongoloid and either negroid or australoid, which one is more likely?
Should Andaman Islanders or Melanesians & Australian Aboriginals be used as an assumption for one half of their ancestors, which is better?
Unmixed Australian Aboriginals seem to look even more archaic than Melanesians, they seem to be the most archaic looking people in the world. I’m not thinking about their cognition of course, that’s another matter, I trust that all populations in the world have the same overall mental characteristics, including emotions and intelligence. Trying to avoid sounding like some sort of racist, in case anyone gets the wrong idea. This is an anthropology forum, anthropologists study and compare physical characteristics.
If Andaman Islanders share the same ancestors as Australian Aboriginals outside of Africa, then they must have neotenised greatly after splitting from them, Australian Aboriginals and Andaman Islanders seem to be at opposite ends of the neoteny spectrum of humanity. Otherwise, they could be descended from another wave, a later wave out of Africa, from the ancestors of Australian Aboriginals.
