Are the Skull Islanders on the movie "King Kong" of Melanesian or African Descent?

I'd have to say Melanesian. I don't know why, but it sounds right.

Godzilla had fire breath I think. But King Kong is probably smarter and brain beats brawn every time.

I am curious as to who the "they" is that you are referring to...\n\nCurrently there are two theories regarding the origins of modern humans, "Multiregional" and "Out of Africa".\n\nThe Africa origin theory is pretty well supported with fossil, artifact (tools, etc.) and DNA evidence, the multiregional origin theory has less evidence (currently) but this should not completely discount it.\n\nThe first link has more on the differences between these, and examines the evidence in more detail. The next two provide some examples of the competitiveness of this debate.\n\nKeep in mind that proponents of either theory are well aware of human evolutionary history and understand that current evidence suggests the first upright primates DID come from Africa (see last link)

I'm from fiji and my country can be located in melanesia just east of indonesia. We are a very dark-skinned race with tightly curled hair and resemble Africans. It's in the pacific ocean... :)

No. All humans are descended from the first Homo sapiens to leave Africa. Cro-Magnons are descended from them as well, but not all human populations are of European descent.

Most Filipinos are racially Asian with slight amounts of European and Australoid mixed in. The Asian majority is overwhemingly ethnic Malay although there is also a small Chinese minority.  There is a significant European admixture only among the Filipino overclass mostly as a result of intermarriage during the 300 year Spanish occupation.  In some of the larger islands deep in the mountains, there are small tribes of "Negrito" pygmies whose ancestors were displaced by Asian colonists (ethnic Malays to be specific) roughly a thousand years ago.  \n\nThat last probably requires some further explanation, so:\n\nNegrito was originally a Spanish term meaning "small Negro".  The term referred both to the small stature of this ethnic group and to the mistaken belief that they were the same race as Africans.  Modern DNA research has shown this to be completely mistaken.  The Negritos are now thought to be racially Australoid that is to say members of the same macro-ethnic group as the aboriginal peoples of Australia, New Guinea, and Melanesia.

Alien, of course. Other than the fact that the movie "Muppets from Space" was about GONZO finding out he was an alien, i think that's about the only way we know.

G'day Ned B,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nHis surname is African from Kenya where his Dad was born.  He was raised by his white mother in Kansas. He and his wife are members of the Trinity United Church of Christ.\n\nI have attached sources for your reference.\n\nRegards

If you take King Kong to be an oversied gorilla and you are talking about Michael Jackson's pet chimp bubbles, then yes - these are both primates.\n\nKermit the frog, on the other hand, is a frog, which is an amphibean. A frog is not even a mammal, let alone a primate.\n\nHope that clears that up!

King Kong - he's a bit bigger than the others.

"Pacific Islanders" are technically considered those extracted from peoples in Pacific ocean islands, e.g. Samoans, Fijians, Hawaiians (if not for the US), etc. "Pacific Islander" is a term coined in the US and NZ (according to Wikipedia). \n\nThe Philippines is part of Asia, and as such, Filipinos are Asian. This is true even according to the US census.

Here's from the all knowing wikipedia:\n"Its roots are varied and include the Fon, Ewe, and Yoruba peoples of West Africa, from western Nigeria to eastern Ghana. In Benin, Vodun is the national religion, and followed by around 60% of the population, or some 4½ million people. The word vodún is the Fon-Ewe word for spirit. Voodoo elsewhere is highly influenced by Central African traditions. The Kongo rite, also known in the north of Haiti as Lemba (originally a cult practiced among the Bakongo) is as widespread as the West African elements, but has largely been overlooked by North Americans."
