JAKUNS

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 130 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
JAKUNS , an aboriginal race of the Malay Peninsula. They have become much mixed with other tribes, and are found throughout the
south
  of the peninsula and along the coasts. The purest types are straight-haired, exhibit marked Mongolian characteristics and are closely related to the Malays. They are probably a branch of the Pre-Malays, the "
savage
  Malays " of A. R.
Wallace
 . They are divided into two groups: (1) Jakuns of the jungle, (2) Jakuns of the sea or Orang Laut. The latter set of tribes now comprise the remnants of the pirates or " seagipsies " of the Malaccan straits. The Jakuns, who must be studied in conjunction with the other aboriginal peoples of the Malay Peninsula, the Semangs and the Sakais, are not so dwarfish as those. The head is round; the skin varies from olive-brown to dark copper; the face is flat and the
lower
  jaw square. The nose is thick and short, with wide, open nostrils. The cheek-bones are high and well marked. The
hair
  has a blue-black tint, eyes are black and the
beard
  is scanty. The Jakuns live a wild forest
life
 , and in general habits much resemble the Sakai, being but little in advance of the latter in social conditions except where they come into close contact with the Malay peoples.
