Abstract
It was not before the late Neolithic that the first Indonesians arrived at their present habitat in s.-e. Asia, where they replaced a mainly macrodont population of Austromelanesoid affinities. The older population was pushed to the east. Dealing with 2 racially different populations no conclusion can be drawn about"micro-evolution in situ with diminution in size" being responsible for the smaller teeth of the present inhabitants of the region, as suggested by Hooijer in a previous article in this journal.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
