6. de QUATREFAGES, A. 1881–1882. Pigmies. Journal Savant February 1881 and June, August, and December 1882 — according to Skeat, de Quatrefages was among the proponents of a common theory of the time (what Skeat dubs “Pan-Negrito theory”), following which all Orang Asli are descended from a common Negrito stock, and any physical evidence to the contrary is the result of racial mixing with Malays and other more outrageous possibilities “selected apparently at random”, such as African pygmies, Papuans, and Siamese [LTP].
