Yunnan migration theory
The theory of the Proto Malay people originating from Yunnan is supported by R.H Geldern, J.H.C Kern, J.R Foster, J.R Logen, Slametmuljana and Asmah Haji Omar. The Proto Malay (Melayu asli) who first arrived had agricultural skills while the second wave Deutero Malay (mixed blood)[vague] who arrived around 1500 BC to dwell along the coastlines had advanced fishery skills. During the migration, both groups intermarried with peoples of the southern islands, such as those from Java(Indonesian), and also with aboriginal peoples of Australoid, Negrito and Melanesoid origin.
