Migrations from the Indonesian archipelago and other places are thought to
have contributed to the settlement of the Philippine archipelago at least 30,000
years ago. The Malays, an Austronesian ethnic group native to the Malay
Peninsula, are the ancestors of the majority of Filipinos. A lot of people have
Chines, American, Spanish, or Indonesian ancestry. Both their outward look and
their nation are a synthesis of eastern and western civilizations.
Homo Luzonensis, an early hominid, may have arrived on Luzon Island 50,000–
67,000 years ago, according to evidence from the Callao cave. These hominins
are thought to be the earliest residents of the archipelago, the Negritos, as well
as their progenitors. Given that shorter and darker-skinned individuals in
Southeast Asia are not closely connected to African pygmies, Homo Luzonensis
fills this genetic gap. As they moved south, the Negritos finally settled on islands
like Borneo, Indonesia, Peninsular Malaysia, Southern Thailand, and the
Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
