Archeologist has estimated that the Negritos(commonly known in malaysia as Orang Asli) came to the Malaysian Peninsula from Africa about 32,000 years ago while the Malays who were belived to be originated from Fuzhou Province in Southern China came only a bit later around 20,000 years ago and their offsprings spread around Sumatera,Java,Sulawesi,Irian Jaya,Timor Leste,Papua New Guinea and all the way to Australia,New Zealand and other parts of the Pasific Islands.BOth The Malays and Negritos live basicly the same way.They built houses out of bamboos and buit them higher from the ground,live in the jungle,hunting with spears,arrows and blowpipes and only later on the Malays find out a way to cultivate crops,raising livestocks,barter trades and uses metal as a tools yet the negritos has been left behind for an unknown reasons.There has never been a recorded history about wars or killings between the two tribes.Could they live peacefully together or even crossbred?
