Moluccans are a blanket term for many ethnic and linguistic groups inhabiting the island groups.Moluccans were originally Melanesian in origin. However, a long history of trade and seafaring has resulted in a high degree of mixed blood ancestry among Moluccans. Austronesian peoples added to the native Melanesian population around 2000 BCE. Melanesian features are strongest in the islands of Kei and Aru and amongst the interior people of Seram and Buru islands.Later added to this Austronesian-Melanesian mix were Dutch, Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish and English genes due to colonization and marriage with foreign traders in the Middle Ages or with European soldiers during World War. Small number of German descendants added to Moluccan population especially in Ambon along with arrival of Protestant Missionaries since 15th century.In addition to Indonesia, a large number of Moluccans have emigrated to Europe, with Netherlands as the first destination since 1950s. Second and greater wave of exodus happened between 1999-2003 triggered by Civil War which permanently displaced more than 800.000 refugees. As the result, at least 1.4 million Moluccan living outside Indonesia today, while 2.5 million of them choose to stay in Moluccas and the other surrounding region such as Papua, West Timor, North Sulawesi, Bali and Java."@en }
