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.

So how do their genetics look like? An average Papuan has DNA from number one, Ancient East Eurasians who migrated out of Africa around 60,000 to 70,000 years ago and reached the Sahul landmass (which included present-day Australia, New Guinea, and Tasmania) around 50,000 years ago, who are ancestors of South East Asians like Indians, Asia-Pacific groups and even the Andamanese , two ; Denisovans who'd been living in Asia for tens of thousands of years and in fact Papuans carry up to 5 % Denisovan DNA , the most Denisovan DNA of all groups , three, tiny Neanderthal DNA , and four ; an earlier extinct Out of Africa population group resulting in their drift away from other East-Eurasian and of course modern African populations. The fourth component is what makes them look like Africans and not typical Asian. Whereas contemporary Asian populations show signs of only one expansion of modern humans out of Africa, there may have in fact been two successful dispersals out of Africa, and that a “trace” of the earlier of these two expansion events has lingered in the genetics of modern Papuans. Therefore Papuans share for most part same evolutionary history as all other non-Africans, but research shows they may also contain some remnants of a chapter that is also yet to be described. Furthermore people on the island of New Guinea evolved independently from rest of the world for much of the last 50,000 years which further contributed to their distinctive look. As shown by the genetics, Papuans are not even close to modern Africans genetically by a large stretch. It is so shocking to me that white people are genetically closer to Black Africans than Papuans.
Do they claim blackness? The self-identification of Papuans, including whether they consider themselves "black," can be complex.
In interactions with outsiders and within broader geopolitical contexts, Papuans might sometimes be referred to as "black" due to their darker skin. Some will use this term to describe themselves especially in a convenient context. Some will argue they are black in terms of their skin color. Though not African, they are Melanesian. In fact the word Melanesia translates to “dark-skinned islanders.”
These shared struggles and resilience in the face of adversity resonate with the broader narrative of black history.
Some will totally reject the black label and argue that any phenotypical similarity is imaginary. That, Papuans, even if rather dark-skinned, tend not to be as dark as most black African peoples. That based on their observations, Papuans tend to have thinner lips, higher nose bridges, deeper set eyes, eyebrows that are nearer to the eyes, and their hair, even if kinky, has more variation in curliness depending on the person than with black Africans. That, some Papuans have naturally brown or blonde hair.

I'm from PNG and this is what I have to say about my country. Papua New Guineans were directly created by Almighty God and placed on the island country called Papua New Guinea. Our myths and legends don't even tell of migrating from some far far lands to where we are now, but we have myths about an unseen being greater than the universe who had created us and our land and everything that is in it. We are of a thousand tribes,800 plus different languages,but we all untited as one people, from our highlands to our coasts and islands. Definitely rare on the face of planet Earth. Come and witness for yourselves 😊.

@@peterkorisa911why so aggressive,the white man cataloged the world, I'm African American, it's best to take their research with a grain of salt,they gave us all white Jesus, most are just awakening to the truth,God is a spirit ,not a religion,also spirituality we recognize our people when we see them,not based on what the colonizers theorized about migration, Africa is the mother land for all people, Africans being the originators of mankind,this is a fact,the bones are in African soil,the oldest women on the planet was discovered in south Africa, she's the mother of humankind, Asian people's are descendants of the koi -sand people of southern Africa❤❤❤facts!!
This is not true, we were part of the black race of Africa.
Okay historical fact Papua New Guinea people are the closest to the Neanderthal people just as the Aboriginal from Australia they are all calculated in the first human of evolution
For a Papua New Guinean, they can easily identify another Papua New Guinean anywhere in the world, no matter what!

I love Papua new guinea! It's doesn't matter we're they coming from, but they are black and beautiful, they have similar history with Africa.. first they where colonized by Holland and Germany and they divided the country into 2 Papua under the Indonesia dictator. and the other New Guinea is under the influence of Australia. But we don't have to forget still in Papua people are fighting against Indonesia Army. Good luck PNG! One day you will be free and you will be Great Papua New Guinea 😊 and I come to visit your beautiful country ❤✌️🙏😘 from wukro, tigray ( Ethiopian)
all humans are not just dark skinned people white people have shades too 👍
I from Papua New Guinea appreciate your wonderful comment... Looking forward to your visit some day..
We have dark skinned, brown skinned and light skinned exactly like Africans. We are AFRICANS in the Pacific like Europeans in Australia, New Zealand and America. The difference is,we came first and took ownership. I am a Proud African Papua New Guinean.
According to my history we came down around 600 years ago.

Thanks and Correction my Brother, there is West Papua and Papua New Guinea.. West Papua is Under Indonesian control and are ať war right now, and Papua New Guinea is an Independent Nation which formerly during colonial days was divided into two, British Papua and German New Guinea
I'm from this place. What I find the funniest about this video is the fact that Europeans are more closely related to Africans than we are. How does that calculate into racism? But our traditions are much more like Asians than any other group in my opinion. I think of us as being Southeast Asian. We have all different colors of skin from white to black. We don't see things based on skin color but rather tribal and marriage affiliations. You can be a white European but if you accept our culture and can live as we do we will accept you as one of our own. So everything is cultural to us.😊 Great video!😊
@@jjsparksshow4772 you were separated from your Tribe and your identity by historic slavery so that's the way you think. As for me I am part of my Tribe so color means nothing compared to tribal affiliations. The Indonesians haven't killed anyone from PNG. West Papua is not PNG. They're on different sides of the island. In PNG black people are killed by other black people from different Tribes. Do you understand?
That's a LIE..Black ppl were the 1st human beings on Earth.Black ppl walked the ENTIRE Earth long before Europeans migrated to our spaces..
Europeans are aboriginal to the Neanderthals in western Europe.You have no connections Africa,African tribes or any indigenous lineage..
When I was in New Deli, my african friends ask me, which Part of Africa I come from. I said you guess, and one of them said Somalia? I told them, No, I am from PNG.
I am Papua New Guinean and my father was at a WHO conference in Singapore when he was mistaken by Africans, for a Tigray (a tribe in Ethiopia) man. 😄
As a Papua New Guinea - Histroy does speak for itself. We the Black People

The word "black" does not necessarily mean "African", just as the word "white" does not necessarily mean "European". Therefore, they are black in any sense of the word.
Make sense 😢 look there black in of conversation! No one else has wool like hair but African Blacks and African Americans! If you need a comb and a brush daily your African Blacks

They share more with ancient southeast Asia than anything. PNG islanders have genetic links with the Australian Aboriginal (Australasian) peoples. As Melanesians they share strong genetic links with Polynesians and Micronesians.

People in Africa also don’t identify as ‘black’. It’s not even a conversation except on a broader context when making reference to Americans/Europeans.
So this conversation about how they identify is really driven from a Eurocentric perspective and if anything irrelevant - except when responding to Eurocentric descriptions.
In African counties that identify as "Arabs," like Morocco, Tunisia and so on, black nationals in those countries are mindful of their blackness; and in most Southern African countries, due to large numbers of whites settled there and due to the history of colonialism and apartheid, blacks in those countries are mindful of their blackness.
I agree, referring to Africans as "Black" has to be abolished. We should unify around being African instead
Beautiful people. I know so many Black Americans that resemble these people, even family members. But for real, if they came to America at all, they'd be considered just that, Black. And if they were to perhaps settle here, marry, and have children, they would be considered Black Americans, at least I think so. But anyway, Beautiful people.
Black Americans don’t have asiatic eyes.

This is how the divide and conquer.
I'm Papua New Guinean and I refer to myself as brown skinned as do most other pacific island folk from Melanesia to Micronesia and Polynesia.
Africa has got the same brown skinned people resembling your people all over africa ethiopia, somalia, mauritania, the peuls people, the khoikhoi, the rwandese , the touareg, ancient egyptians called nubians, everywhere people have dark, chocolate, coffee, honey and very fair complection. All life began in Africa so all varieties exit. It is the Europeans who named people Black juste for a few who were very dark skinned just like in southern India. We do not refer ourselves as black but just from this area or that area.
Exactly sis. We have never considered ourselves "black" -until the colonisers brought it with them. It's not even in our vocabulary. 😂
There are references to the shade of brown, light or dark even red and that's it!
you're black
Maybe you are Polynesians. Cos Melanesians are simply black people.
@@malicktjmatiabeyuwi7587 fyi, PNG does have ancestral Polynesian groups that reached our island and settled in the south during a second wave of migration before they ventured out to populate the rest of the pacific. You can tell by our the two distinct language types, the Non-austronesians and the Austronesians. The latter being the Polynesian/Micronesian default which takes its roots from ancient Taiwan. This has been genetically proven.
Austonesians were a sea faring people who brought with them their knowledge of pottery, tattooing, the use of obsidian for tools, tapa cloth and their exceptional sea craft building and navigational skills. All of which are shared traits from places they settled and intergrated into from as far as Madagascar in Africa all the way to the Hawaian islands. Their language is the most obvious shared commonality amongst us all. For example the word for coconut is the same all throughout. We call it "niu" in our motuan dialect as do most decedent's of the Austonesian peoples.
So yes, some of us consider ourselves part Polynesian by ancestry (southern and island regions) but we consider ourselves brown skinned Melanesian due to the majority.
If you say "geographically closer", then you'd be right.
They Have To Be Considered How They Say They Want To Be Considered. That Is How They Preserve Who They Are, Not By Some Color Standard Introduced By The Colonizers.
Interesting!
Our forefathers did not educate us this way therefore our precious history can not be jeopardized and put a stake by a white washed ideology intended for continuous monopoly.
Your statement is respectful and is taken well. We all as blacks should be aware of the emerging trends of our black history and identity rooting back to mother land. Such claims will continue building walls against our black brothers and our mother land, Africa.
Right on! from Cameroon. Solidarity with the brothers from Melanesia

I think this highlights the fallacy of trying to identify people by “race.”
Exactly 💯
Yeah and why American blacks should have not been called African in the first place.
They are of mixed race. And this highlights the racist attitudes of our black Americans.
Some PNG Melanesians have identity crisis cos they can't connect with black people in Africa and everywhere worldwide. Better Wake up Melanesians you can't self hate yourself assuming you are Asians or Caucasians.

Excellent clip, needs a follow-up
Just remember Papuans are black, but Europeans are closely related to Africans then Papuans are. In a sense, Africans and Europeans were once one big happy family and in that same period, Papuans were still a separate family from them.
how you come up with this conclusion champ?
@@dusmangi Papuans migrated out of Africa 50k years ago. At that time as they migrated out towards Sahul, the Ancestors of Europeans did not migrate out of Africa yet. Meaning they were still one big happy family, until 20k years or so when they migrated up north then they separated from motherland.

Absolutely! Even a white person who spends who spends years in the tropical sun becomes heavily tanned. And a brown Melanesian who spends years in Alaska will most definitely end up with very light skin tone and the hair texture becomes finer. Our physical features, i.e., skin tone and hair texture and even physic, are a product of our environments - and of course evolutionary factors.
I have always felt slightly uneasy about calling myself "black". Although I am, by skin-tone, the deep connotations with the term "black" makes me feel slightly out of step when aligning myself to the cause. Our issue doesn't lie with the monarchy some 10000km away, our issues lie with the geopolitical hegemony we find ourselves in. I look at Africa and USA and think "God I am lucky I didn't go through what they went through"...or "aren't we lucky we aren't them"...and in that I think I deny that "blackness" that history tries to spread across people of black complexion. It would be disingenuous to empathise when my history hasn't been as bad as our brothers and sisters on the continent.
I do not know of which Papua New Guineans would consider themselves as not black. That is absurd and it is the first time we hear of that. On DNA, it has not been extensively undertaken and the representative samples cannot conclusively described the entire Papua New Guinea as the populations are so diverse. There were instance of E1B1A Haplogroup been picked up around central New Britain Island which is a direct link to Africa but this has not been discussed much in scientific papers. And, there are differences between the DNA of the Highlands Papuan populations who arrived some 50K+ya and the coastal Melanesian populations who arrived thousands of years later. There is also the possibility of undocumented movement of people from unknown lands by the Dutch, Spain and Portuguese in the country which is only found in traditional folklore.
"black" as a self identity is hardly used outside the US
UK?
As a Papua New Guinean, this is how I would compare the different physical resemblance from the world. I would divide PNG's DNA in 3 parts,
(1) Papuans share the same DNA as the Polynesians & Asians and are also know as the south Eastern Coastal people (Papuans) . Papuans have black or brown long wavey hair with a light skin color like the Tongans & New Zealanders.
(2) New Guineans (Highlands & northern coast line) share the same DNA as the southern parts of African & South East Asians. They have brown skin color with black or hazel brown eyes and have soft black curly hair.
(3) The New Guinea Islanders (North Coast Islanders) share the same DNA as the Indians & Southern East Asians. they are have melo color skin with blond hair and have black, brown or blue eyes.
Sampla PNG stap, please addim if mi wrong lo sampla hap.
The actual Papuan is not the people from Central or Milne Bay, when we say Papuan we mean the first group of migration, which is the Highlanders, Most of MOMASE region, most of Gulf and Western.
But you are correct, the people of Central, Milne Bay and maybe 80% of NGI are an Austronesian group of people.
we"re black race with differing colour tones.
Fact! you stated it correctly.
Why showing only one Region of the country we have Four different regions that describes our identity we are one country but different in features.
First of all the Coastal Region People are not one bit like the Upper Highlands region.
@@trevs9925true. Most Papua New Guineans are so I'll informed about this term. Papuans (apart from being the first wave of migration into PNG) are basically anyone who's language that does not fall in the Austronesian group, hence, all the highlands region including some coastal areas would be considered that.
Strongly disagree with the assumption that ancestors of people from PNG migrated from Africa some 30000 to 60000 years ago. many tribes of PNG have always inhabited this island. Africa is not the motherland and of all black people, never was and will never be. Many tribes from PNG have always inhabited this land mass. Maybe people from Africa were always there in Africa and we were always here in the beginning. However, regardless of who is from where you have done a great presentation highlighting the diversity of PNG and the distinction between black people around the world. Thumbs up.
If you don't agree that all black people migrated out of Africa you just a lost soul. Great Yahweh most powerful black man choose Africa 🌍 first as garden of Eden, beside other nations.

Stop believing what white people tell you they are running around, saying the Coyson Bushmen are Caucasian and the Buntu expansion push them out of their Range just.
@starchildthesupertrucker3.242 Caucasians are the ethnic groups immediately in and around the Caucasus Mountain range, _specifically._
They are the *only* people for whom the term "Caucasian" actually applies.
It's otherwise an incorrect, outmoded, and inaccurate term when applied to people outside that geographical area.
Oh, and it's *Khoisan,* not "Coyson." They are an ethnicity, as are the *!Kung San,* of the Khoekhoen and the Sān peoples.

Are you following me on Twitter? I was just debating on this
I think they are africans by origin but maybe there is some hidden history on some of these people or each society was created as one individual and separated by different circumstances like weather natural disasters.
Melanesian is a race of its own origin, just like Asians or Caucasians or Africans, they did not come from any other race, if Africans carry homo sapiens genes, and the Europians with Neanderthal phenotype, then we may safely say the thriving pale phenotypical features of europians did not go extinct because of the strong homosapien genotype found in them. While the diverse race in Asia could be a mixture of homo sapiens and Denisovans species. the dark race in Asia and Pacific including Indigenous Australia and New Zealand did not come from other parts of the world accept from that land making up the diverse human race.
Interesting.Im Papuan but my late wife always asked me if I was European cause she told me I had a certain "northern look" about me.
In Papua or majority of Asia and Oceania. Skin color means nothing but culture and clan matter the most, Papuan are Papuan, not black or white. We don't diverge things by skin color. Because there's even many Papuan who have lighter skin and hair than European.
The fact that we genetically closer to other Asia than Africa it says a lot, and you can spot our differences to Africa by seeing and compare our face construction, quite different, i even have a feeling that our facial construction quite similar to Hawaiian or even American indigenous. It just in common we have darker skin.
You are wrong. Melanesians simply means black people extended from black people from Africa and elsewhere too.
@@malicktjmatiabeyuwi7587 Melanesians simply means black not african. There's nothing wrong in my writing. I said we are genetically close to asian especially southern east and that's fact.

After reading some of the comments, one observation is SERIOUSLY missing: climate and diet affects the human body. Over thousands of years, human migration toparts of the world has an affect, but the same perspective can be said of the African continent! All Africans do NOT look alike. The narrator was comparing dark skin Asians and Pacific Islanders to West Africans ( e.g., body hair), not acknowledging that East Africans and Southern Africans sometimes carry that trait! There wasn't ONE single migration out of Africa, but several (not counting the "recent" historical interactions for the past 5,000 yrs).
Let's not forget the Khoi-San, Twa and Baka peoples who may also have been the migrators.
Perhaps, the following THREE YT videos makes the point of people who are Asian/Pacific and identify themselves as Black. Enjoy. (retired scholar in African and Pacific Island studies)

I think many of us lack broader understanding of these factors which you have highlighted thus giving some to narrowly state their conclusion. We need more research on the topic...
All lives started in Africa even for humans who another human raced them - Mongoloids, Caucasian or Australians or even the author of this video who's skin color and not blood was changed when moved away from Africa
Sad reality every outsider that want to talk about Papua New Guinea show the New Guinea side of it.
Papua New Guinean, have four different regions that make up the country. Papuans or the Southern region are the fair skin people that are lighter than the New Guineans with Soft or Curly hair that settled on the Coast line of the Island.
If you want to talk about Papua New Guineans, we all don't look the same. Sad when we Papuans known as the Southern region people travel outside of the country people think we are Fijians or Samoans or other Pacific Islanders that have fair skin tone with long hairs.
Because the world think we all look like the Highlands region.
looks like to me that they are a people of many differant people, but they're african features stick out t
he most
I'm from Papua New Guinea and I can say my ancestors never faced any racial injustices or marginalization. Even though we were colonized, we were the only country to gain independence from Australia in 1975 without any war and we still share a bond with Australians. We appreciate foreigners coming into our land in the past bringing with them modern medicine, knowledge and religion and we refuse to be labeled victims.🇵🇬
PNG actually went through racial discremination with the european race that was one of the reasons our forefathers like Grand Chief Michale Somare was fighting for our early indepence from our colonizers. Example; Ela Beach was divide between Whites and Papuans so Papuans are not allowed to swim in Whites section of the beach. That was how bad the colonizers were.
@@user-qd5pf8ht3iThis sounds more accurate.
@@user-qd5pf8ht3i more like he fought for resources being ripped out of the land & sea main example is bougainville isle because of rio tinto took out like there was no tomorrow and basically left peanuts to the islanders thing it was an one stage the largest open cut copper mine inthe world
They never faced this racial thing because they did not have much to steal from you. But so much to steal from Africa : our Egypt the sciences and the culture where all the greeks pythagore, thalès, hypocrate went to school there, the pyramids built by Black Brown skinned people of Africa, the had to steal the first proof of mathematics the Ishango bone et the Lebombo bone in South Africa. They did not have the same interest on Africa than on Melanesia. Please check out Narmer the first doctor and multi talented ever who taught the europeans and tell me if he looks european. Queen Tiyi the Mother of Ramesu (Ramsès II), Africa is great. All the music you listen to rock, reggae, jazz, blues, zouk, salsa, rumba , tango , disco, rnb, coupé décalé, makossa, jerusalema , are made by african descent. Same for all the actual danse and choregraphy but people of african descent we like to share with the world. Your battery in Your telephone the coltan comes from Congo. I have got plenty. Africa soil is so rich they almost perverted the people but people are aware now, africa is standing up again. Love africa , love Bob Marley from african descent, one Love with the brothers from Melanesia
Wrong, they had No blacks allowed in pubs,only white toilets etc. my grand father was one of the first natives to fly to Australia. Qantas airlines didn't serve him and his friend coz the airline had a policy of no food for the natives of Papua. There was racial discrimination that's why they called us kanakas, made us call them master, and also call us niggas too. But there were also good white people who helped us. As for the Japs they killed and ate some of our people when they were starving during the war.
OK - lets blame the sun for the skin color, shall we?
Just goes to show: skin and features are superficial phenomena. What makes us human is much more important.
And...black Africans are not all the same shade of black. Thank you for this video.
They have the E1B1B haplogroup from the east African highlands
Love the video. Yes we are black islanders.
Papua New Guineans are Africans living in Oceania
We black original landlord, Melanie's
People. Not Australia.
Sorry I did my DNA test as a Melanesian person a black person
IAM not related to black African people
But I have 1 percent Eskimo the rest is Polynesian Micronesia and mainly, Melanesian Papuans
I was shocked 😲 😲 😲 😲 😲 😲 😲
Have Melanesian blood no African in Melanesian DNA
So what ? What is so fantastic that the dna doesn't show african blood ? Africans are the first and oldest people on earth. We have thought and solve problems before any other group. And we have ruled Egypt the mother of the world which is great.
Haplogroup E-M2 the Papuan Haplogroup is the same E1b1a1-M2 an African Haplogroup, it's just a shorter way of putting it but scientists do not want you to know that.
Guys , stop lying to yourselves , stop being ashamed of being of African descent, you have the same haplogroup E M2 as Africans like the brother on the next message says. All human life started in Africa. Be proud. Can't you see you have the same features and the same cultural codes for example ?We have the pyramids Egypt and Soudan. We have the first churches in Lallibela Ethiopia. You want to be an Esquismo ? What is the grandeur of these people compare to the African grandeur ? (Without putting them down) ? Solidarity at last from Cameroon . Respects

true weve all humans white black& yellow but theres only one god hes not a male or female weve all come from eve & adam not the big crap theory they are ear bashing us with 👍
DNA test of all ethnic groups will help.
maoris and tasmanians were tested closely related png dna
two documentaries made on this in the abc television broadcast (australian) the maoris and tasmanian aborigines
They are the most criminalize people in their country why?
wrong europe was just that so is oz back inthe dark ages🤦
You wish!! We know our own people. Who are you to point fingers when in your own society is worse. Unfortunately, you don't have a culture we do.
you are correct png is or was amoung top 10 crime countries inthe world thats a generalised statement this vid is a about an island of the mainland new guinea the ethnicity is different to the highlanders they hav a different demeanour more peaceful relaxed than mainland highlanders who basically are the ones the world puts us in a box WITH just like any society inthe world you generalised cobber
@@lyndaauwi1815 wrong to say you 'dont have a culture' when they lost their cultures through wars an invasions in europe through time
@@lyndaauwi1815 western societies are corrupted by all sorts of people living in their countries look at europe today invasion on tap same with u.s oz and canada
it does not matter how they call themselves, they descended from us Africans, says who, says me a native black south African man.indians all come from us, infact all human race come from us they changed their look when they migrated to places outside africa due to environmental factors like climate. a human being changes the physical appearance over a long time in order to inhabit that place. but it happens over thousands and thousands of years to change.
These tribes from Papua New Guinea looked so much like West Africans to Europeans. They called it new Guinea as old Guinea is in West Africa. The Portuguese been in Africa long before going to Indonesia and Papua. If you look African you have to be linked to them. The same crime of taking natural resources from Africa white people do the same to these island people.
HEBREWS SCATTERED ALL OVER THE WORLD, NOT LOST.
Africa is the origin of mankind 👋🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Did the word "mapua" come From Papua??
😂😂😂 Labda
The word "Papua" is actually Dutch and roughly translates to curly hair. That's how the Dutch colonizers refered to us Melanesians
@@funqbrock02 em ol skin bret yah kekeni na mero ya😂
It's not what you say it's what THE SCIENCE AND GENETIC SAYS PERIOD
No one is claiming them to be africans but what does the scientific truth and archaeological research say ?????
We are black like Africa
Dr. Runoko Rashidi | The African Presence in the South Pacific; RUclips. Where did humans originate???? DID THEY ORIGINATE OUTSIDE OF AFRIKA???? There are several examples of black people whose ancestors came from Afrika that live in different parts of the world outside of Afrika.
Human's different cultures,or ways of life have determine who they are and where they come from. The colors of the skins are only skin deep appearance.
After all, we are all human creatures hopping to live together in love,peace and happiness.
There's a difference in shades between black and darkest brown. The Papua New Ginea are not black, but darkest brown, so as most people of Africa. They have kinky hairs but not it means they are black.
Black is an identity, not a race or racial group. If they consider themselves as black then it should not be an issue.
THEY ARE CHILDREN OF BANTU DECENDANT .... STUDY BANTU
@@user-iq2dv6ot8cNot, they aren't. Their appearance evolved on different gene sets than those of Africans.
Facts they are from the lost tribes of Israel disperse around the world.
@@EyeSeeThruYouAre you having the nerves to tell people who you think they are. The audacity is too much.
I believe we originated from Africa

Thank you
Ofc they are black. Just not African.
Intermarriage duh
png was isolated for few thousand yrs before Europeans explored
Hardly happened
What european was going for intermarriage all over the world? They were not asking for permission when it happened
@@MariemHoolong-ni8sd in a event of war or invasion of a nation SHIT does happen its happened throughout history and will possible happen again its long gone we are in the future now not the past whats done is done

Before they were in New Guinea they were in Africa…..the people in Scandinavia also, but obviously intermixing with Neanderthals, albinism and climate affected the Scandinavians’ appearance more than the new Guineans from the original African look.
"Albinism" is not the reason Europeans have the skin shades they possess.
You clearly either do not understand the genetics albinism, a mutation found worldwide, or else you are a racist attempting to insult people. Only you know which is the truth here.
@@EyeSeeThruYouno. Albinism is a genetic defect in the melanin in the melanocytes.
Neanderthal are Asian.
You need to get reading about what albinism actually is, and is not.
Though rare, albanism has been documented in _all_ human populations globally, and is actually a group of heritable conditions.
It is therefore not a descriptor for people in Europe, as you inaccurately implied.
Having an ancestor from Europe is no more a factor to inherent the condition than in any other population.
Children have a chance of being born with albinism if both of their parents have albinism or both of their parents carry the gene for albinism. All humans possess the genes that occasionally become damaged in some way as to result in albanism.
Also, H. Neanderthalensis genes are spread throughout the human population (H. sapiens sapiens).
Science has not determined whether that species experienced the heritable condition of albinism.
Therefore, claiming that species "passed" albinism to a specific segment of the human population is unsupported by science, and therefore, is a _factually inaccurate assertion._
@@EyeSeeThruYou u just write a BOOK …when at no time I SPECIFIED that ONLY AFRICAN THAT VENTURED INTO EUROPE (which is what the first modern humans to step foot into Europe were) dealt with albinism. The colder climates in the northern lands of Eurasia was a blessing to those with extreme cases of it causing for a longer life. Thriving in those conditions propelled those lighter skin humans to evolve into what is seen in Europe today. Stop assuming everyone is on this current modern day view of “race” and getting triggered by slander that isn’t even there.
