Map Description:
This map is the result of a rapid appraisal survey of Kuy dialects in Cambodia that took place during March 2002. This research was conducted in order to gain a broad overview of the dialects and basic sociolinguistic factors among the Kuy (Mann and Markowski 2005: 5)

South-East Asia: Austric Dispersal Theory
Austric Dispersal

Map Description:
This map illustrates the dispersal of the two branches of the Austric theory. The Austronesians moved through China along the Yangtze Jiang River and down the east coast of China between 10,000 and 6,000 BP. The Austroasiatic group moved in three different directions: west, south, and southeast. The encircled numbers denote progressively later stages in the dispersal.

Southeast Asia: Proposed Migrations based on Genetic Analysis (HUGO Pan-Asian SNP Consortium)
Proposed Migrations based on Genetic Analysis
Source:
The HUGO Pan-Asian SNP Consortium. 2009. Mapping Human Genetic Diversity in Asia. Science 326: 1541-1545.
Date Digitized: 7 April 2011.
Map Description:
This map shows probable migration routes for several east Asian population groups as determined by genetic analysis. In addition to determining that genetic ancestry and linguistic affiliations were closely correlated, the HUGO Pan-Asian Consortium discovered that, "more than 90% of East Asian haplotypes could be found in either Southeast Asian or Central-South Asian populations [...] with haplotype diversity decreasing from south to north," (The HUGO Pan-Asian SNP Consortium 2009). This suggests that southeastern Asia has a higher degree of genetic diversity than the northeast. This in turn provides evidence toward the conclusion that modern East Asian populations are at least in part descended from groups that lived in this southern area.
Furthermore, these results suggest that the two-wave hypothesis for the settlement of southeast Asia and the Pacific is not accurate. Although they state that further studies should be undertaken for verification, their current findings point toward a shared ancestry and a migration history that, "unites the Negrito and non-Negrito populations of Southeast and East Asia via a single primary wave of entry of humans into the continent," (The HUGO Pan-Asian SNP Consortium 2009: 1545).
