Talk:Dapenkeng culture

Hemudu
Brindley (2015, p66) cites KC Chang as noting similarities between Dapenkeng and Hemudu pottery, and "suggesting that Hemudu was an early settlement of the later coastal peoples of Fujian and Taiwan". That is not the same as saying that the "Dapenkeng culture is a successor of the Hemudu culture". Chang is suggesting that the two groups may have had a common origin, not necessarily a movement from Hemudu to Taiwan. If there are sources for such a statement, they should be presented before putting it back in. Kanguole 08:42, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I disagree with your interpretation so I've added a direct quote. We'll let the readers decide what's meant by "Hemudu was an early settlement of the later coastal peoples of Fujian and Taiwan."--Easy772 (talk) 16:29, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Austronesian Languages
Another minor issue I have is that from what I've read 'most' scholars think Austronesian Languages started on Taiwan not the mainland. What the "Proto-Austronesians" were speaking was probably something like Austro-Tai i.e. Tai and Austronesian languages were probably largely undifferentiated at that point. --Easy772 (talk) 16:29, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
