Before the modern era, the Dayak Basap were often hunter-gatherers or horticulturalists. Their culture, settlement patterns and historical identity are connected with the wider Dayak populations of eastern Borneo.[3]
Population genetics
editGenetic studies of related populations from eastern Borneo and Island Southeast Asia indicate a complex ancestry history involving Austronesian-related, Mainland Southeast Asian and Papuan-related components.[4][5]
In one study of Island Southeast Asian populations, a small male sample associated with this population showed several Y-DNA haplogroups, including C*, K*, K2, O1b1a1a1a1a, O1a2 and O2a1b~.[6]
The same study also reported several Mitochondrial DNA haplogroups in a small sample, including B4a, B5a, M20, M71a2, R9b1a1a and E1a.[6]
