Aeta (Ayta /ˈaɪtə/ EYE-tə), Agta and Dumagat, are collective terms for several indigenous Filipinos who live in various parts of Luzon island in the Philippines. They are also known as the "Philippines Negrito"; and they are included in the wider Negrito grouping of Southeast Asia, with whom they share superficial common physical characteristics such as: dark skin tones; short statures; frizzy to curly-hair; and a higher frequency of naturally lighter hair colour (blondism) relative to the general population. They are thought to be among the earliest inhabitants of the Philippines — preceding the Austronesian migrations.[2][3] Regardless, the modern Aeta populations have significant Austronesian admixture, and speak Austronesian languages.[4]
Aeta communities were historically nomadic hunter-gatherers, typically consisting of approximately 1 to 5 families per mobile group.[5] Groups under the "Aeta" umbrella term are normally referred to after their geographic locations or their common languages.[6][7][8][9]
