The Origins and History of the Indonesian People

🌍 The ancestors of the Indonesian people were formed by three major tectonic plates: the Indo-Australian plate, the Eurasian plate, and the Pacific plate.

🏔️🌋 The subduction between the Indo-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate led to the formation of the Barisan Mountains in Sumatra and volcanic mountains in Java, Bali, and Lombok.

🚢 The theories of origin for the Indonesian ancestors include the Out of Africa theory, the Out of Taiwan theory, and the Out of Yunan theory.

🌍 The origin of the Indonesian people is believed to be from Indonesia itself.
