Task 1 Readings in Philippine History

The document traces the origin of the Philippines' early migrants according to characteristics stated by Dr. Otley H. Beyer. It discusses that the Negritos were likely the first inhabitants dating back 30,000 years ago, crossing land bridges from mainland Southeast Asia. Indonesians arrived around 5,000 years ago by boat from South Asia, while Malaysians likely came around 3,000 BC by boat from eastern Indonesia and Malaysia and dominated the population. Wilhelm Solheim's Nusantao hypothesis proposed a maritime migration rather than agricultural or linguistic factors.
