Papua new guinea is one of the most interesting countries in Asia. People there look like they have African features but are actually almost completely different and independent of them and have the most interesting unique culture. The island of New guinea might be one of the most opossing islands on earth with the very very very different Indonesian side. You can cross the same island by a few dozen kilometers and have people that look like they came from opposite sides of the earth. What a cool place.

[@derek-je9dp]

Papua new guinea belongs to Oceania

[@derek-je9dp]

What you mean by African is Austronesian ethnicity. Similar to aboriginals of Australia. It's really cool that Maori of New Zealand and Aboriginals of Australia are completely unrelated. The Pacific islands are so sparse that they can be living on nearest island from each other without a single drop of blood being mixed
