  Negrito - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Negritos include the Ati, the Aeta and at least 4 other tribes of the Philippines, the Semang of the Malay peninsula, and 12 Andamanese tribes of the Andaman Islands.
The Negrito peoples have one of the purest genetic pools of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) among anyone in humankind so their mtDNA serves as a baseline in studying Genetic Drift.
The Negritos are believed to be the aborigines of the Philippines.

 Negritos of Zambales
The Negritos of the Philippines constitute one branch of the Eastern division of the pygmy race as opposed to the African division, it being generally recognized that the fls of short stature may be so grouped in two large and comprehensive divisions.
Most Negritos have seen the better style of living followed by the more civilized Filipinos in the outlying barrios; yet they seem to have no desire to emulate it, and I believe that the lack of such desire is due to a disinclination to perform the necessary manual labor.
The Negrito is by instinct, habits, and of necessity a hunter.

King Negrito found the place amazingly beautiful, but all the tubular things around the building made him think that these people were probably smoking a lot inside if the air conditioner had to be that obvious.

Barrows looked at Meyer’s Distribution of the Negritos in the Philippines and Elsewhere as a valuable "sifting" of the evidence, but it is not final as Barrows quickly came to realize when they came to locate the Negritos on the ground eight years prior to when he wrote and published this article.
Barrows is familiar with Negrito and primitive Malayan and the results of their intermarriage, and every fresh examination of texts and illustrations he cites in this article have increased his belief that the Sakay, like so many of the types of the
He explains Negritos were the first selected for the study of inland tribes because they are relatively few in number, few studies have focused on the characteristics of the living, and no previous study has been done of their ears.

Like the Manobo, the Negrito groups of the Philippines constitute one of the most complex populations in terms of dispersal.
All of the Negrito groups speak languages that are dialects of the major adjacent peoples.
They are now widely distributed and found in highland areas or places that are difficult to access: the Pacific side of northern Luzon to the Bicol peninsula, the northern tip of the Cordillera mountains, the Zambales ranges and the Bataan peninsula, Bondoc peninsula, and the islands of Negros, Panay, and Palawan.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Human Race
The first group, comprising the aboriginal Australians, are dolichocephalic, tall, and have a fl skin; all three types of skull appear in the second group.
It generally lacks a bony superciliary arch; skin and eyes are brown to fl; the hair fl, short and frizzly or wooly; lithe nose flat and broad; the lips thick and protruding, while prognathism is universal.
According to Huxley, the particular modifications of the Negroid type are: the small Bushmen with lighter skin; the partly brachycephalic Negritos with heavy superciliary arch, living in southern and south-eastern Asia (the Malay Peninsula), and in the Andaman, Philippine, and South Sea Islands (Papuans) as far as Tasmania.

 Negrito and Negrillo
Sir W. Flower himself, as far back as 1880, stated that he was inclined to regard the Negritos as representing an infantile, undeveloped, or primitive form of the type from which the African Negroes on the one hand, and the Asiatic Melanesians on the other, with all their various modifications, may have sprung.
He speculated that the chain had begun in Africa with an ancestral population of Negrito pygmies but the only connection he could make between the African and Oceanic Negritos was a propensity for women to develop steatopygia, a genetic condition that causes an excess of fat deposits on the buttocks and upper thighs.
The only major difference to the Negritos is that the Veddoids have long, only slightly curled hair while the Negrito have their very tightly curled peppercorn hair.

Still the Negrito group arduously explored the definition of ecosystem management and delineated its implementation on a broader scale than had previously been attempted.
As the collaborative effort of the Negrito Ecosystem Project withered, a group of doctors and community members formed the Catron County Citizens' Group (CCCG) in Reserve in an attempt to address high levels of stress citizens were feeling as the local timber industry and timber jobs disappeared.

 Negro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Argentina, Chile and Cuba, negro (negra for females) is a word commonly usually used to refer to friends or people in general, and does not have a racist connotation.
However, many languages presently do not have any widely accepted alternatives for an alternative to "Negro" that is more neutral or positive in its associations.
Some Spanish-speaking people have adopted the term "negrito" or even "azulito" (the diminutive of "azul", the color blue) instead of "negro" to avoid the insulting connotation of the word in English, especially around English-speaking people who do not know Spanish.
