Migrasi Deutro dan Proto Melayu

Summary

The transcript discusses the migration of Proto-Malay and Deutro-Malay ancestors of the Indonesian people, who originated from the Austronesian group around 2000 BCE. These migrations, prompted by natural disasters and conflicts, brought Proto-Malays to Indonesia between 1500-500 BCE, where they introduced stone tools and settled in coastal areas. Later, Deutro-Malays arrived with advanced bronze tools and farming techniques, gradually spreading across Indonesia. The transcript also touches on the Melanesoid migration to Papua and beyond, explaining their influence and eventual blending with Malay cultures, shaping the region's ethnic diversity.
