Sir, ganito....

I have had some impression that the Austrics are a
group
of people that would constitute a formation way back
20,000 ya. They would include Proto-Austronesians and
the ancestors of the Mon-Khmers and Thais.
Austrics if you would describe them physically would
be a little like Southern Chinese and of course
may resemble some American Indians.
My question is what is their relation with other races
(which the other AN site members would not love to
discuss) like the Papuans, Dravidians and Oceanic
pygmies which some anthropologists classify as
Australoids although these people are separate
groups.
I think we (taking that we are Austrics, of course)
are very much related to the Sino-Tibetan speakers and
some Altaics than to these other races in the earliest
times.
Although now, significant mixing is evident. We
Pilipinos
have for example some "pygmy" blood. My wife who is a
very fair-skinned Ilocana from Zambales undoubtedly
has a mother who has pygmy features. They have
relatives who are tall and dark-skinned just like
Melanesians and
Polynesians.
