I very much doubt it. You certainly need very good boats to reach the Hawai’ian islands. The Hobbits presumably didn’t have boats at all. They probably didn’t need boats to get to Flores because elephants made it there as well. I can’t imagine elephants making boats, or even being carried to Flores on them. Same applies to connections between Hobbits and the Aeta. You’ve always needed a boat to reach the Philippines, except for Palawan at times.

“I believe that part of the world, was first populated by the negrito people, and that these people(hobbits) are related”.

Negrito people are not related to Hobbits, although it’s remotely possible some Hobbit genes survive in some of them. Negritos are almost certainly descended from the same people as gave rise to the people of New Guinea and Melanesia. In earlier times such people lived right across South China and into SE Asia. The surviving Negritos have just been down-sized a little through living on small islands or isolated in the jungle.

As for the Menehunes, most people have myths about others before them. People get pushed around, and history is usually told by the winners. To make themselves feel better about replacing those before them newcomers always accentuate the difference and inferiority of the earlier inhabitants. In fact such mythology is used today to justify replacement of populations.

It amazes me that anyone still needs convincing.
