Interesting.  By whom was it peopled?  Australoid? Veddoid? Malay? or Other?

Surely any islands in that general area would have at least been visited by
Austronesian navigators at many times in the past several thousand years.
Please refresh my memory, if anything about Boreanesian is available. Thanks.
