Are you seriously? Filipinos are not Aetas nor do they have a significant Aeta blood in their veins. Most filipinos are not of Negrito or Aeta heritage. The correlation you painstakingly made (skin coloration and stature) is nothing but due to adaptation both races acquired in part by living on the same part of the globe and in part by nutrition. Let an aeta child stand side by side with a common lowlander child and you could easily see the striking differences of the two and in no way you could say that they are of the same race.

I could accept a theory that Filipinos and other Southeast Asian peoples (Malays, Indonesians, Pacific Islanders, etc) came from one common ancestor race and differed through divergent evolution, but to say that Filipinos came from Aetas is preposterous!
