Since I have only recently moved the Boreanesians, they still have
to decide where to put the furniture, and I still have to rework
the proto-historical details. Originally (when they were still
living in the N.Pacific), they were what I called Caucasitoid: a
pygmy version of Proto-Caucasians/Mongoloids/Ainoids. But that
will have to change now. The first inhabitants were definitely
negritoid, so that's where I have to work from. Then I have to
figure how later waves of migration would affect the original
negritoid population. The new location is quite interesting in
that the eastern part could serve as a stepping stone for ancient
human migrations towards Australia while the rest is a cul-de-sac.
I already have a lot of Austronesian loans, but I now may have to
add a couple of Australian loans as well.

Its only available on hardcopy or as a Worddocument file. Take your
pick.
