Talk:Peopling of Laos

Negritos

Were there never any negritos in Laos (i.e. the first H. sapiens outmigrants from Africa, c. 50-60 thousand years ago)? Badagnani 22:02, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

None that I'm aware of. I think they were just on islands and along the coast.Kevin Borland, Esq. 22:57, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Earlier species

Are you including earlier hominid species such as Homo erectus in the "peopling" articles? Many regions of Southeast Asia were inhabited much earlier by these species (see Java Man). Badagnani 22:02, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

They should be included I suppose.Kevin Borland, Esq. 22:56, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Merged

This article was simply a copy of Peopling of Thailand, with "Khmu" substituted for "Mon-Khmer", and the idiotic claim that the Khmu predate the Mon-Khmer by 30,000 years. Not salvageable, so I deleted and redirected to the Thailand article. — kwami (talk) 14:13, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

The reasons that this is a start class, rather than a B class: Not enough information on timing of migrations into Laos included at this stage Ethnic groups not divided into clades yet Not enough source information cited yet
