Austronesia and
Prehistory studies
The past, present, and
future are a series of continuous time. What is present now, cannot be appear
suddenly, but entrenched from our past and will continue to the future. By this
frame CPAS emerge as an institution for (1) exploration of the past to
understand better about the origin, dispersal, and development of people and
culture (where we were came from); (2) knowing and strengthen current people
identity (who we are); (3) enlighten for the development of future life
(where we will go)-
"we belong to a single
family" and "unity in diversity", two expression describe yolk in the global
life. We believe that all humans were originated from one single mother. Forced
bya strong will for discovery,
curiosity, and desire to find a new hope of life, they were spread and
developed to almost every single place in the world. Adaptation process and
cultural diffusion were slowly create a physical mosaic and culture (pluralism
and multiculturalism) as we can see nowadays.
CPAS work inside this
uniquely sphere: exploring the origin of those diversity to give a meaning in
present life and preparing us for a better future. Therefore, the emphasis of
study are being focused on two topics: (1) prehistoric life in general and (2)
Austronesian speakers and their cultural history.
