Subgroups
people from Davao The Manobo are considered the most diverse among the many indigenous peoples of the Philippines, with the largest number of subgroups within its Manobo languages. The geographical distribution of the subgroups is so great that some of the local groups have been noted to "assumed the character of distinctiveness as a separate ethnic grouping," as in the case of the Bagobo or the Higaonon. == Etymology ==
Etymology
Manobo is the hispanicized spelling of the endonym Manuvu (also spelled Menuvu or Minuvu). Its etymology is unclear; in its current form, it means "person" or "people." It is believed that it is derived from the root word tuvu, which means "to grow"/"growth" (thus Man[t]uvu would be "[native]-grown" or "aboriginal"). == Genetic studies ==
Genetic studies
The Manobo are primarily of Austronesian ancestry, like other Filipino ethnic groups that descend from the Austronesian expansion, but they also have significant Austroasiatic ancestry indicating that part of their ancestors originate via a separate Austroasiatic migration originating from Mainland Southeast Asia. This is similar to the Sama Bajau people. The Manobo possess Denisovan admixture, much like the Mamanwa. == See also ==
