The Beautiful Faces of Austronesian People..
don't get wrong..austronesian is the family language,not represent the race.but sometimes also be considered as part of one human race in the world.because the Austronesian-speaking people have the same physical characteristics too.such as brown skinned,wavy hair to curly hair,and brown eyes.
Austronesian people are :
-Southeast asian (Indonesian,Filipino,Malaysia,Cham of Cambodia and Brunei Darussalam)
-Melanesian (Moluccan,East Timorese and some part of Papua0
-Micronesian
-Polynesian (Maori of New Zealand,Tongan,samoan,tahitian,Rapanui,Hawaiian,CookIslander,etc)

  • Men of Austronesian, East Asian, Amerindian, and Inuit origin have no coarse body hair on their chest, back, or butt. They find it hard to grow real mustaches or beards. Women have only very soft body hair as compared to Europeans, Middle Easterns, and South Asians. In general of light to dark brown skin, brown eyes, and black hair. This is probably because they picked up less Neanderthal genes as compared to Europeans as Homo Sapiens came out of Africa 70,000 years ago.

  • @RoGumbI but i'm not really agree with you..most of men from pacific in polynesian islands triangle appeared to have beard, only the Austronesian people in southeast asia almost doesn't have beard because influence from east asia genes..

  • Using the 80-20 rule, Filipinos are basically of 80% Austronesian stock and 20% other (Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Arab, Latin European, and even Amerindian due to mixed Spanish from the Americas). The Austronesian stock came originally probably from South Central Asia approx 10,000 years ago. Compare this to Amerindians who also came from somewhere in North Central Asia approx 15,000 years ago. The original Austronesian and Amerindian stocks are now gone from mainland Asia.

  • @RoGumbI yes, i really agree with your opinion..austronesian and amerindian came from central asia..amerindian or native american come from north of central asia,while the austronesian come from south of central asia..they migrated far until reach america continent and to the north and south pacific islands..

  • @lagodaxnian I can grow a beard and I got South East Asian blood :) Bugis to be exact.

  • @1081617 agreed with you

  • I think there existed a huge land mass (Google Earth), which connected all of Indonesia, the Philipines, Australia, China, Micronesia, Melanesia and the Indochina. But in the middle of geographic history, about 70% of that landmass has submerged due to the polar caps melting and many ancient Austronesians fled to Australia, Indonesia and China. That's why modern East Asians, Austronesians and the Australian Aborigins share certain haplotype genes but the most of the Siberians don't.

  • @MrUsoRasta But most of the Austronesian in the mainland southeast asia are near the shore & which tribe in Southern China that connect to Austronesian? Who are those southern chinese? because if we say chinese which is i think majority of the population is han chinese, some of them are tai-kadai,sino-tibetan, and austro-asiatic, I read the Gaoshan in Southern China is part of Austronesian family.

  • @MrUsoRasta I read that southern china speak tai-kadai & they have close affinities with austronesians & sino-tibetan. Tai-Kadai is also spoken to some parts of southeast asia specially in Thailand & Laos so basically this people are inside the mainland southeast asia with the Austro-Asiatic speaking people. The main or the origin of austronesian speaking people specially the malayo-polynesian is in maritime or island southeast asia and oceana that's why Malayo-Polynesian.

  • Hey where did the Chinese go? The southern region of China called Hainan is Austronesian too...along with Cambodia and many other Asian countries,

  • There's actually 3 kind of language family spoken in South East Asia : Tai-Kadai, Austro-Asiatic and the Austronesian. Most of the Austronesian speaking people are South East Asia located in Maritime South East Asia and those Austronesian speaking in Mainland South East Asia usually located near the shore.

  • I think South Central Asia are more on Austro-Asiatic although they said that the Austro-Asiatic have also connection with the Austronesian but it belongs to 2 different family. It's like these 2 group of language are brothers. Most of Austronesians are in South East Asia.

  • @TrueAltaic ; the majority of the Indonesian people's skin is light brown/brown / dark makes them look very beautiful and attractive.

    pinay,indons and malon =  Austronias .

  • @TrueAltaic : most Indonesians do not have a mix of china but their face resembles china. as was the case in the Sundanese, ethnic tribe in Sumatra, borneo (dayak), some tribes in sulawesi. but we also have some european blend.Indonesia is a country that has a race and culture are very diverse, which makes Indonesia a little differently.
