Study Notes
The Peopling of the Philippines
- Archaeological finds in Palawan, such as the Jabon Skull fragments, suggest that the Philippines had prehistoric inhabitants as early as the Pleistocene period, around 22,000 years ago.
- Theories about the peopling of the Philippines include:
- Austronesian Regions Theory, which proposes an internal human evolution in the area.
- Multiple Homeland Hypothesis, which suggests multiple origins of the peopling of the Philippines.
- Melanesian Homeland Hypothesis, which argues that the movement of people originated from Melanesia around 3,500 BCE.
- Unique South China Homeland Hypothesis, which links the peopling of the Philippines to trade relations around Borneo and Celebes Sea.
- Unique Mainland Southeastern China Hypothesis, which suggests that the migration of people from Mainland Southeastern China to the Philippines occurred in ancient times.
