🇵🇭 Genetic Landscape of Philippines

The Philippines has been a genetic crossroads of Southeast Asia for millennia. The Aeta (Negrito) people are among the earliest inhabitants with Australo-Melanesian ancestry. Centuries of Malay migration, 333 years of Spanish colonization, American influence, Chinese trade, and Japanese presence have created a uniquely layered genetic profile. Filipino DNA studies show one of the most complex admixture patterns in Southeast Asia, with significant variation across the 7,641 islands.
