    In the Philippines, the people historically called "negritos" call themselves Aeta, Ati, or Agta. I believe there are more tribes/communities but those are the only ones I'm familiar with.

    Thank you for the addition! Using individual names for groups is generally preferable to collective names that often aren't recognized by the peoples included, but unfortunately it's too hard to list all of these groups individually when speaking of them collectively. Fun fact, the Aeta are the group with the highest percentage of Denisovan admixture in the world, about 30-40% higher than Papuans and Australians (though it's still only a small fraction of their ancestry, around 5% of their genome)!

    It's supposed to be a cartoon version of me lol, I have long hair in real life. I include the shots of the avatar because it's really hard to find images that feel appropriate for every line of narration, especially in really long videos like this - the avatar makes sure I have something visual going on even when I don't have specific illustrations, and allows me to compliment tone with a visual depiction of emotion in some cases. Thank you for the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed overall!
