Turns out we’re from here.
The birthplace of Asia is South East Asia.
Bangalore, December 11, 2009: Over 90 top geneticists from Asia have jointly concluded from their first-of-its-kind landmark study of Asian genetic populations that South East Asia was the “center of the Asian universe†millions of years ago and there was a single major inflow of migration from South East Asia to Northern and Eastern parts of Asia.
This figure shows plausible routes of pre-historical migration of Asian human populations. According to the study, the most recent common ancestors of Asians arrived first in India (aqua-green). Later, some of them migrated to other Asian countries in the South. The first group of settlers include the Malay Negritos (brown), Philippine Negritos (purple), the East Indonesians, and early settlers of the Pacific Islands (dark green). Thereafter, one or several groups of people migrated North, mixed with previous settlers there and, finally, formed various populations we now refer to as Austronesian (light green), Austro-Asiatic (red), Tai-Kadai (dark blue), Hmong-Mien (light blue), and Altaic (yellow).
