The Andaman Association created by George Weber has been researching Negrito populations for over a dozen years. They used to have a website "George Weber's Lonely Islands" at www.andaman.org. It seems that they also published a book ("Lonely Islands: The Andamanese Bibliography", Andaman Association, 1999).
The old website disappeared by the end of 2013, but it can be found in web archive:

56 Vanuatu Negritos - I saw a photo of a man who is 50% Vanuatu Negrito + 50% German-Canadian*
*Unfortunately this man has not tested his DNA so far.
What exactly do we know about autosomal genetics and haplogroups of these populations?
Are any Negrito genomes available in HGDP, have any of them been uploaded to GEDmatch?
I have previously uploaded a South-Western Australian sample to GEDmatch:

I wonder how much different from that sample would Australian Negritos be?:

Vanuatu
During the 1900s when Vanuatu was known as New Hebrides, sizable Negrito tribes were first reported throughout northeastern Santo. It is likely that they are not limited to this region of New Hebrides. Nonetheless, there is no anthropological evidence linking Negritos to other islands of Vanuatu.[54][57]
Fiji
Norman Gabel mentions that rumours exist of pygmy people in the interior mountains of Viti Levu in Fiji, but explains he had no evidence of their existence.[53] E.W. Gifford reiterates Gabel's statement and claims that tribes of pygmies in the closest proximity to Fiji would most likely be found in Vanuatu.[54]
