Condition Of Social Culture Lingga's Society

Condition of Social-Culture very hand in glove its bearing with the geographical factor, pertinent society history. For that, it is better if we glance at about history or disseminating one who later, then we conceive of the " Malay". With reference to this Melalatoa mention that hereafter last ice age come a group of one who distinguish the race weddoid to Nusantara, inclusive of to area Riau. Hitherto their pickings there be still, people namely : Sakai, Forest, and conceived of later Citadel " original people". In range of time 2.500 up to 1.500 Pre-Christian come the people who is later;then conceived of Proto of Malay. [Through/ passing] their Malay Peninsula disseminate to Sumatra. Pickings those who is later, then known as by People of Roof-Gutter of Mamak and People Go out to sea also admit of found in Riau area . Next Wave ( still according to Melalatoa) is happened hereafter year 1.500 Pre-Christian. then conceived of by Malay Deutro ( Melalatoa, 1986:190).

Meanwhile, Suparlan, pursuant to ancient expert note ( Van of Heakeren and Soekmono), enhancing that before Malay people come to Nusantara ( to area Riau), in fact over there resident there have its. Even, according to him not merely race of Weddoid ras, but also Austroloid. Pursuant to that note, Suparlan anticipate that resident pertained as race of that Weddoid and Austroloid step into the hinterland because gone to the wall by Proto people of Malay. Meanwhile, people of Deutro Malay ( incoming at next migration wave) also insist on the Proto people of Malay to hinterland, so that there are mixing between people Weddoid, Austroloid, and Proto of Malay. Others, there is Proto people of Malay breaking away to hinterland, and there is also which adjacent life, mix one each others with the people from Deutro Malay ( Suparlan, 1995: 39--40). From various that opinion can be pulled by conclusion that Malay People non representing people who come from one certain race, but represent the mixing from various race, both for swarthy and also yellow.
