Origins and biological affinities of the modern Thai population: An osteological perspective

"The work focuses on the assessment of population affinities based on craniofacial skeletal data. The main objective is to test the ""immigrant"" and ""endogenous"" hypotheses for the origin of the modern Thai. The former proposes that the ancestors of the modern Thai migrated from China during the early second millennium A.D., and the latter proposes that the modern Thai are descended from prehistoric inhabitants of present-day Thailand. Although there is a great deal of research on East and Southeast Asia using archaeological, linguistic, and genetic data, detailed analysis of skeletal morphology has not been attempted beyond a few preliminary studies."
