Indonesian Javanese are one of the three major races in the world?

Malays, also known as South Island Mongolians or Marine Mongolians, was originally a concept of race put forward by German scientist Blumenbach, and was regarded as a branch of brown race. In fact, the Malay race is the result of the fusion of Javanese whites and Andaman races. Mainly distributed in Malay Archipelago, Polynesia, Micronesia, Taiwan Province Province, South Kyushu, Easter Island and Madagascar. Now anthropology has abandoned this concept and classified it as Mongolian race. 1At the end of the 9th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Malays were often used to describe Austronesian languages.

Where the Malays came from is still inconclusive in the history circle. But there are mainly two kinds of views, which originated from Java Island in Malay Archipelago or from Myanmar and Yunnan.

1. The origin of Malay archipelago

The Origin of Malay Archipelago is supported by J Crawford, K Himmli, Sutan Takdir Ali Chabanne and Goris Clough.

The following is the origin of the Malay archipelago.

Malays and Javanese have a high culture in the19th century. This achievement can only be achieved by the continuous development of local ancient culture. In this way, Malays don't come from anywhere. But born and raised.

K.Himly disagrees that Malay is similar to Cambodian. It is not enough to think that the similarity between the two languages is only a superficial impression. Through comparative linguistics, it is judged that Malay belongs to the Malay-Polynesian language family in the Austronesian language family and Cambodian belongs to the Monkhmer-Khmer language family in the South Asian language family. Except that some words sound similar on the surface, but they have different meanings, but they are totally different.

Fossils of Homo Soloinensis and Homo Wajakensis found in Java indicate that Malays originated in the Malay Archipelago, and perhaps Malays came from Java.

The languages of all ethnic groups in Malay archipelago are different from Indo-European languages in Central Asia.

The origin theory of Malay archipelago has been supported by most people in the world.

2. The origin of Myanmar and Yunnan.

The main supporters of the origin theory of Myanmar and Yunnan are R.H. Geldern, J.H. Kern, J. R Foster, J. R Logan, Slamet Muljana and Asmah Haji Omar.

The origin theories of Myanmar and Yunnan are based on the following:

The ancient axe found in Malay Archipelago is similar to some areas in Central Asia, indicating that Central Asian residents immigrated to Malay Archipelago. (But immigration is only a part, not all. )

Malay customs are similar to Assam (Assam is the area between India and Myanmar). (In fact, it was in the Middle Ages that Malay culture was influenced by South Asian culture and Indian culture, but at the same time Malay culture also influenced Myanmar and Bengal-Khmer culture. )

Malay is similar to Cambodian (in fact, this statement is unfounded, and comparative linguistics judges that they belong to two different language families), while Cambodians are thought to come from Myanmar, Yunnan, Bangladesh and other places, and some Yunnan immigrants went south to Cambodia along the Mekong River.

The theory of the origin of Myanmar and Yunnan has not been accepted by the public. Malaysian middle school history textbooks all introduce that Malays originated from the integration of native land and immigrants. According to this theory, the ancestors of Malays can be divided into indigenous descent and immigrant descent, while the origins of Myanmar and Yunnan can only prove the part of immigrants. Two groups of immigrants moved to the Malay Archipelago from Myanmar, Yunnan and other places in different years. The ancestors of these two groups of immigrants are called Burmese and Yunnan respectively, collectively referred to as mixed-race Malays (Malay: Melayu Deutro), while the native Javanese Malays are called.

3. Primitive Malays (Malay: Melayu Proto).

Primitive Malays and mixed-race Malays are also known as Austronesian languages, and their culture is Neolithic. Austronesian language family is actually the last people to move into Malay archipelago. Before that, there were Australians (English: Australoid), Duolun people in Li Ni (English: Negrito) and melanesians (English: Melanesoid).

The following is an introduction to the second kind of horse bearer:

Primitive Malays

According to unearthed cultural relics, primitive Malays lived in the Malay archipelago in 2500 BC. They have agricultural skills.

Mixed-race Malay

They existed in the Malay archipelago from 65438 BC to 0500 BC. Most of them live by the sea and develop fishing.

4. Malays and Malays

Malays are not short for Malaysians, but a major ethnic group in Malaysia.

Malaysians are referred to as Malaysians for short, and Malaysians refer to people with Malaysian nationality. There are three major ethnic groups, namely Malays, Chinese, Indians and other ethnic minorities. Every nation has preserved its own culture and customs. At the same time, we also respect the cultures and customs of other races.

5. Five-point method

In the19th century, many natural scientists expressed their views on racial issues, and Blumenbach's five-point rule was more common in the19th century:

Caucasian race, that is, white race, is mainly distributed in Europe and West Asia.

Mongolian race, that is, yellow race, is mainly distributed in East Asia.

Ethiopians, or blacks, are mainly distributed in Africa and Oceania.

American race, that is, red race, is mainly distributed in the United States.

Malays, that is, brown and white people, are mainly distributed in Altai people in Southeast Asia and North Asia (note: different from brown people in the 20th century).

In the decades after Blumenbach, researchers gradually merged Americans and Malays into South Island Mongolians. As a result, there were three main races left at the beginning of the 20th century:

Black race, that is, black race

Caucasian people, that is, white people.

Austronesian-Mongolian race, that is, yellow-brown race.

The most common classification in the 20th century was put forward by American anthropologist Carlton S. Kuhn:

Congolese race, that is, black race.

Caucasian people, that is, white people.

Mongolian race, that is, yellow race.

Australian race, that is, brown race.

Polynesians:

It is an indigenous people living in Polynesia in the East Pacific. Include Maori, Tahitians, Hawaiians, Tongans and Samoans in New Zealand. Its ethnic background is complex, and it is generally considered to be a mixture of Mongolian and Australian races. Some scholars believe that it is the fourth largest race among Mongolia, Equator and Europa. The language background is Polynesian language family in Austronesian language family.

There are many different views on the origin of Polynesians. Nowadays, most people advocate "speaking from the west", thinking that the ancestors of Polynesians migrated from Southeast Asia about 2,500 years ago. At that time, in the island areas of Southeast Asia, ancient Malays had occupied a dominant position. "West" also has some unreality.

In fact, Polynesians also have many differences with the indigenous people in the western two islands, but they have many similarities with the Indians in the eastern American continent. For example, Micronesia and melanesians are shorter, Polynesians are taller and more like Indians. In terms of blood types, Polynesians and American Indians lack blood types B and AB. In addition, people also found that Polynesian myths, legends and traditional habits have some similarities with Indians. Therefore, some anthropologists believe that the ancestors of Polynesians moved from the East America.

Thais are Malays like Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.

Polynesian language shows that they are closely related to short people who live in the Malay archipelago between Asia and Australia with their noses broken. Those people ... According to ethnologists, Polynesians and Malays are significantly different in all aspects-from the shape of skulls and noses to their height and blood type.
