Genetics Revealed Historical and Cultural Relationship of Sunda Shelf and Cape Malays Peopling
Keywords:
Nusantara Malay, Cape Malay, genetics, cultural-behaviour, migrationAbstract
Objective: The Cape Malays in Cape Town, South Africa is the descendants of the Malay population that once falls under the Malayo-Polynesian linguistic family and practice Islam. However, there has been no study reported on the mtDNA of the Nusantara Malays with the Cape Malays and their relationship. The aim of this study was to describe the relationship of the maternal genetic affinity with
the historical and cultural affiliation of the Nusantara and Cape Malays. Methods: Blood samples were collected for nine Malay sub-ethnic groups in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup was determined by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP). In-depth interviews and comparisons with published data from a study by Isaacs et al., 2013 were carried out. Results: The results of this study showed a resemblance of Cape Malays with Nusantara Malays in the contribution of maternal lineage haplogroup and similarities in the cultural-behavioral level inducing the origin of Cape Malays based on the genetic, linguistic and cultural affiliation of the Malay population in the Malayo-Polynesian region.
