The black people of Asia, Pacific and Australia. Papuans are a dark skinned people found on the island of New Guinea, the world's second-largest island, with an area of 785,753 km2 (303,381 sq mi), which is located in Melanesia in the south-western Pacific Ocean. They number about 13 million.
When I observe a person from Papua New Guinea, I am struck by their physical resemblance to black Africans. The tightly curled hair, dark skin, and distinctive facial features all contribute to a visual impression of what we commonly associate with 'blackness.'
The origins of Papuans trace back to the first settlement of Australasia by a group known as "Australasians" or "Australo-Papuans" during the Initial Upper Paleolithic period. This group had a shared genetic makeup and culture linked to Ancient East Eurasians and shares ancestry with modern East Asians and other Asia-Pacific populations. Humans reached Sahul (the combined landmass of Australia and New Guinea) between 50,000 and 37,000 years ago. Around 10,000 years ago, rising sea levels separated New Guinea from Australia. Despite this, Aboriginal Australians and Papuans had already diverged genetically about 40,000 years ago. Papuans are more closely related to Melanesians than to Aboriginal Australians.
The ancestors of the Papuan New Guinean peoples scattered into highland and lowland areas, and evidently kept to themselves since then, going by genetic and linguistic evidence. And today, though possessing similar origins, Papuans are genetically highly different from each other, as reflected in their linguistic diversity. With approximately 850 domestic languages, which account for over 10 per cent of the world’s total, Papua New Guinea is the most linguistically diverse country in the world.
