Description: This is a recreation of a map made by William W. Howells, professor of anthropology at Harvard University, from page 206 of his book Getting here: the story of human evolution. The original caption below the map in the book was: "The Distribution of Asian Peoples" "Shaded are the remnants and populations of non-Mongoloid people, appearing as N (Negrito) or A (Australoids of Wallacea, Melanesia and Australia). The latter peoples comprise the present aboriginals of Australia and Melanesia, as shown; the interest here is their presence and remnants. 'Sundadonts' comprise Southeast Asiatics and offshore peoples from northern Japan (Ainu) down to Taiwan and Indonesia, as well as other Pacific Islanders. 'Sinodonts' comprise the mainland populations of Korea (also Japan) and China, as well as peoples to the north and west."
