This document outlines the major prehistoric and historic population movements in the Philippines from 250,000 BC to 1521 AD. It describes the earliest inhabitants known as the Dawn Man and Negritos, followed by successive waves of immigration of sea faring Malays and Austronesian groups between 5000 BC to 1000 AD, establishing the Neolithic age. Later arrivals included Orang Dampuans in the southern Philippines from 900-1200 AD and Muslim traders between 1377-1500 AD, culminating with the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan to Cebu in 1521.
