Ancestors of the Senoi and Semang

There is some big speculation in this week's episode and I forgot to point that out! This week's episode we cover the peoples of the Malay Peninsula. These are the ancestors of the Senoi and Semang people. I also talk about peoples living in some of the Indonesian Islands. I mentioned them as being related to the Semang or Negrito peoples of the Malay Peninsula. That is speculation and I will go into more detail on that next week. I meant to talk about that theory and others, but forgot to do so in detail. Apologies! Also for those wondering Papua New Guinea will be covered in our segment on Australia this season.
