ABSTRACT: Here we report for the first time the Y27-STR Yfiler plus profiles of the insular population of Cebú in the central region of the Philippine Archipelago and the general continental population of Thailand, two strategic locations of interest in connection with the Austronesian expansion. Traditionally, the peopling of Taiwan has been envisioned as a single wave of agriculturists migrating from mainland Southeast Asia.

Furthermore, Taiwanese aboriginal populations in this study par
