Description: Suggested Migration Route for Early Austronesians Into and Out of Taiwan Geographic regions in China of foxtail millet domestication (teal) delimited by Nanzhuangtou, Cishan, and Yuezhuang, and of rice domestication (blue) in the Yangtze River Valley. Shown are early Austronesians in the Fuzhou region, entry into north Taiwan, and rapid north-south dispersal along the west coast and crop cultivation at Nanguanli. One Austronesian language subgroup from Taiwan is ancestral to the Proto-Malayo-Polynesian language subgroup in the Philippines. Note: This hypothesis assumes the Sino-Austronesian grouping, a minority view among linguists. per: Ko, Albert Min-Shan; Chen, Chung-Yu; Fu, Qiaomei; Delfin, Frederick; Li, Mingkun; Chiu, Hung-Lin; Stoneking, Mark; Ko, Ying-Chin (March 2014).
