Abstract :
Background: Based on the Two Migration Theory and on cultural anthropology, the Baduy is classified as Protomalay and the Sundanese as Deuteromalay. Historically and socioculturally the Baduy is part of the Nearby Living Sundanese (NS) who isolated themselves and settled down in Kanekes. Linguistics and archaeology could not tell whether a culture’s spread was due to a source population’s migrating or to a destination population’s copying technology and language. Craniofacial anthropometry resolves this because a people physiognomy does not change rapidly due to mere migration. Purpose: The objective of this study was to determine whether people of Baduy is Protomalay or Deuteromalay based on Profile of Upper Integument Lips (PUIL) which is the angle size formed by (sn-Ls) line to Frankfurt Horizontal Plane. Angle size 90º=Opisthocheili. Lip prominence strongly influenced by racial and ethnic characteristics, its form especially determined by genetic factor. Method: Subject sample of 43 Inner Baduys (IB); 92 Outer Baduys (OB); and 135 NS of South Banten were measured using Fasiogoniometer to determine PUIL. Average value data was determined and analyzed by Testing Equal Variances to compare two variances between groups. Result: The result of this study showed that IB, OB and also NS are Mild Procheili (angle size = 50o–69.9o). PUIL of IB and OB compared to NS are slight different, but between IB and OB is same. Conclusions: Base on characteristic of PUIL, IB, OB, as NS are Mongoloid subrace, and physically should classified as Deuteromalay.
