6 Pleistocene migrations in the Southeast Asian archipelagos

This chapter describes further the migrations of early hominins within Southeast Asia, especially to the sometime-island and sometime-peninsula formed by Java. The island of Flores was also reached at least one million years ago by crossing ocean passages between islands. Early modern human migrations beyond the Sunda Shelf are also discussed.
