Nasreen types originating in the south: B and F (B* found among Aboriginal Malays), R9 (found in Yunnan (South China) and Xinjiang from a branch ancestral to F), pre-F (common among Aboriginal Malays and ancestral to both R9 and to F), pre-N, N*, and N9, all found in Aboriginal Malays (N9, found throughout Southeast Asia and in South China, is ancestral to Y;) – see
Chapter 5
; R21 (found only among the Semang and Senoi from a Rohani branch, but may be ancestral to pre-F, F4, and F – shares HVS1 site 16304, but not certain key non-coding sites –thus providing a possible deep anchor between the Aboriginal Malays and other aboriginal groups of the Malay Peninsula) – see

. Manju types originating in the South: M7 – see

. Y-chromosome types originating in the South: Ho (Consensus type ‘O’) – see

American Journal of Physical Anthropology
93
: 189–99 (note, the new clade M7 is identified in this older dataset by RFLP site 9820g). The presence of southern paternal line (M95) and the two dominant southern maternal clans B and F in Indo-China and Island Southeast Asia may simply indicate that they had been there all along among Sundadont populations (see
Chapter 5
), but their presence in Melanesia clearly indicates migration. The finding of maternal group C in the south (by e.g. Yong-Gang Yao et al., op. cit.), however, implies migration from the north.

The ‘backward’ epithet is probably a Eurocentric slur, since the available stone was poor and the most pliant materials used by Southeast Asians for their tools were of perishable wood, fibre, and bamboo. See the discussion in
