    The peopling of SEA
    The Peopling of SEA
    • Southern China and eastern Tibet were the
    source of the region’s population, and some
    migration had been taking place for nearly 2
    millenia
    • The largest ethnic element in todays SEA is the
    brown-skinned Malay, inhabiting Malaysia,
    Brunei, Indonesia, and the Phillipines

    • SEA has been overshadowed by India and China
    • Unlike Chinese, Indian influence had no political
    implications

    and Singapore
    • Chinese becoming the majority in Singapore, and
    important minority in every other country of SEA
    The influence of India and
    China

    China
    • Before the Indian and Chinese influence became
    widespread, SEA has fostered an indigenous
    culture.
    • The Javanese had developed wayang, gamelan,
    and batik (N.J. Krom, a Dutch scholar).
    • SEA is not a cultural battlefield between China
    and India, instead, China also adopted Budhism
    which was introduced by India
