there were 2 fallacies ,both discredited
1.Malays originated from southern china
2.There were 2 waves of migration to the Malay Archipelago ..proto malays and dutro malays ...the division between malays ,who lives along the shores and ibans and dayaks who lived inland
there were many theories to the origin of malays ..who are they and where they came from
but the Gnome Institute findings based on DAN testing had sort of nailed it ...that the chinese originated from south east asia and not malays originating from south china
but again in science what is proven today is disproved later and DNA testing is not that final ...eg,the origin of Indians ...earlier DNA testing taken among the Indians showed they are all the same and similar lot ..meaning ,no difference between a CECA north fair skin Indians and the darker local kelings we are familiar with ...these raised eye brows in scientific circles
than it dawn upon them that only male specimen were used for testing ...so when women DNA were tested ,it revealed a totally different findings ...that Aryans invaded India some 3000 years ago ...and only Aryan men came and screwd native Dravidian women to produce our CECA ah nehs
still science and DNA have not answered a lot of questions...what happened to the Neanderthal ? ..why Chinese have more Neanderthal traces than some Europeans ...there were findings ...and lately ,Chinese look alike man and Neanderthal woman remains were found in the current political Russia ...so it goes on
