Malay race

From WikiPilipinas: The Hip 'n Free Philippine Encyclopedia

The Malay race, a concept that was proposed by German scientist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, refers to those of brown colored people who inhabit the Malay Peninsula and portions of neighboring islands of the Southeast Asia, including the coast of Borneo, Philippines, Sumatra and other smaller islands within these areas. American anthropologists H. Otley Beyer proposed that Filipinos were Malay migrants from Malaysia and Indonesia.
