Wow, im so happy that you created this video bro. Our dark brothers in America do not realise how closely related we are. Much love and apreciation brother. Also, the oldest bones in south America are Melanesian and from what i have been looking into, i belive that the Black Americans are indigenous to North America so i strongly belive we did live together at one time in history. Thank you Brother🎯💙💛💜

[@nesiannnblue2197]

All around the world there is a push for the erasure of blackness. In the Pacific, we Melanesians are the largest demographic and make up about 80% of the population (about 10M of the total 12M. 1.5M being polynesians and 500,000 being Micronesians) yet when you think of the Pacific you don't envision blackness.

Most Austronesian and Austroasiatic people have either some Melanesian or Negrito DNA. Yet a lot of people don't know this.

This is true,and Eastern Indonesia also has a large population of Melanesians as well,not just in West Papua but the Moluccas,Nusa Tengarra,and now Independent East Timor as well!And lastly,let us not forget the Aeta and Mamanwa and other Negritos of the Phillipines!

I'm Papua New Guinean (PNG) brother - so this is how it is...all of humanity originates from either the Neanderthal or their cousin the Denisovans, both have their roots straight out of Africa...historians believe separate groups of Denisovans migrated 50,000 years ago down to what was known as the mega continent of "Sahul" (when Australia was connected to Papua - i.e. West Papua, PNG, and surrounding islands). The first group to migrate down obviously took generations to get there - in turn adding and altering DNA along the way - these were the Aboriginals - who went into the heart of Australia. Around the same time though or not too long after, a second group migrated closer to the top of Sahul, altering DNA in their own special way - these people eventually became the Melanesians. Also - fun fact, the Melanesian race is the only black race to have natural blond hair - you'll find them predominantly in the Solomon Islands (lookup Malaitas of SI) and the PNG islands nearby (lookup Tolai's of PNG)...At the end of the day though, we all have a little African in us 😏 - and for us Melanesians we're black and we're proud and we'll always be your black brothers and sisters.

See Science. 2020 January 17; 367(6475): . See other articles in PMC that cite the published article. Associated Data Supplementary Materials Go to: Abstract Despite the wide range of skin pigmentation in humans, little is known about its genetic basis in global populations. Examining ethnically diverse African genomes, we identify variants in or near SLC24A5, MFSD12, DDB1, TMEM138, OCA2 and HERC2 that are significantly associated with skin pigmentation. Genetic evidence indicates that the light pigmentation variant at SLC24A5 was introduced into East Africa by gene flow from non-Africans. At all other loci, variants associated with dark pigmentation in Africans are identical by descent in southern Asian and Australo-Melanesian populations. Functional analyses indicate that MFSD12 encodes a lysosomal protein that affects melanogenesis in zebrafish and mice, and that mutations in melanocyte-specific regulatory regions near DDB1/TMEM138 correlate with expression of UV response genes under selection in Eurasians.

[@mlungisiwright]

The derived rs7948623 (T) allele near TMEM138 (associated with dark pigmentation) is most common in East African Nilo-Saharan populations and is at moderate to high frequency in South Asian and Australo-Melanesian populations (Fig. 1 and fig. S4). At SNP rs11230664, within DDB1, the ancestral (C) allele (associated with dark pigmentation) is common in all sub-Saharan African populations, having the highest frequency in East African Nilo-Saharan, Hadza, and San populations (88-96%), and is at moderate to high frequency in South Asian and Australo-Melanesian populations (12 - 66%) (Fig. 1 and fig. S4). The derived (T) allele (associated with light pigmentation) is nearly fixed in European, East Asian, and Native American populations. In South Asians and Australo-Melanesians, the alleles associated with darker pigmentation reside on closely related, or identical, haplotypes to those observed in Africa (Fig. 5 and fig. S6), suggesting that they are identical by descent. The TMRCAs for the derived dark allele at rs7948623 and the derived light allele at rs11230664 are estimated to be older than 600 kya and 250 kya, respectively (Fig. 4). Consistent with a selective sweep, we see an excess of rare alleles (and extreme negative Tajima’s D values) and high levels of homozygosity extending ~350-550 kb in Europeans and Asians, respectively (figs. S5 and S14). We observe extreme negative Tajima’s D values in East African Nilo-Saharans and San over a shorter distance (115 kb and 100 kb, respectively) (fig. S5). A haplotype extending greater than 195 kb is common in Eurasians and rare in Africans (Fig. 5) and tags the alleles associated with light skin pigmentation. The TMRCA of a large number of haplotypes carrying the rs7948623 (A) allele in non-Africans, associated with light pigmentation, is 60 kya (95% CI: 58-62 kya), close to the inferred time of the migration of modern humans out of Africa (48, 49) (Fig. 4). These results, combined with large FST values between Africans and Europeans at SNPs tagging the extended haplotype near DDB1 (e.g., FST = 0.98 between Nilo-Saharans and CEU at rs7948623, within the top 0.01% of values on chromosome 11, table S4) are consistent with differential selection of alleles associated with light and dark pigmentation in Africans and non-Africans at this locus.

[@mlungisiwright]

We also observe an LD block of SNPs within HERC2 that are associated with skin pigmentation independently of the SNPs described above, though they do not reach genome-wide significance (table S3). These are in a region with enhancer activity in Europeans (50). For example, SNP rs6497271 (F-test, p-value = 1.8 × 10−6), which is located 437 bp from SNP rs12913832, has been associated with skin color in Europeans (50) and is in a consensus SOX2 motif (a transcription factor which modulates levels of MITF in melanocytes) (57) (Fig. 3). The ancestral rs6497271 (A) allele associated with dark pigmentation is on haplotypes in South Asians and Australo-Melanesians similar or identical to those in Africans (Fig. 5 and fig. S6), suggesting they are identical by descent. The derived (G) allele associated with light skin pigmentation is most common in Europeans and San and dates to 921 kya (CI: 700 kya-1.3 mya) (Figs. 1 and ​and44 and figs. S4 and S6). SNPs associated with pigmentation at all three regions show high allelic differentiation when comparing East African Nilo-Saharans and CEU (FST = 0.72 - 0.85, top 0.5% on chromosome 15) (table S4).

Aboriginal Australians (First Peoples) is correct! 'Aborigines' is considered derogatory, as the colonisers used it disparaginly. Uncle at 7:00 mins mentions the Stolen Generation, but the subtitles didn't pick it up. From all over their country, First Peoples were taken to prison colonies and reserves and Church lead boarding schools. The stolen generation of children who survived, but were taken from their lands and families to be "civilized". Our country is the only one without an official treaty with it's First Peoples - It was colonised approx' 180 years ago (four generations, if we're generous). In the 80's, we still had 'boundary streets' and curfews. Thankyou for being so respectfully curious about Australia's First People's and their culture.

Thanks for shedding a light about my brothers and sisters from our beautiful Melanesia for tha American Black people. In our island there are stories of Chiefs traveling to far east (American coast) and bringing back goods like sweet potatoes in ancient times. Not al blacks in America came from slave ships bro!

[@WheresReis]

Oh wow that's amazing man!! never head that story. I wouldn't be surprised tho! Can you go into detail about these stories?

[@SAVARImedia]

@@WheresReis well on our different islands we hold different fruits and herbs that only grow in some areas. As known the melanesiand and polynesians were the first nautical explorers of the big waters. We invented the outrigger canor technology with which we were capable of colonizing the planet (as is clear with Madagaskar, a polynesian colony on the Eastcoast of Africa since ancient times.) But also the story of where we got and brought our Taro, (breadfruit) Sago, sweet potatoes, yams and some other fruits and veggies as well. These stories have been passed down over generations and each island has their own origin story of the fruits and the chiefs that brought them or took them with. There is alot of research on the internet published in different science databases and also social study databases that overlap them. Also you will find on the east coast of the Americas that there have been certain native tribes that have artifacts in their chiefs huts like spears and canoes that seemed to be completely foreign in origin, and even words they use that seem to have polynesian origin. This also fits stories from the far east islands. You can google some of the terms i dropped here since i dont have the articles and stories on hand here but i can look them up for you if you want.

[@SAVARImedia]

The first inhabitants as we know it can from East/North Asia and are Native Americans. They were not black. And I just want to clarify that Melanesians are very distantly related to Sub-Saharan Africans even though they look similar. There is scientific evidence apparently that some populations in South America have Polynesian DNA mixed in their genetics, which is quite fascinating.

I am surprised you didn't know that dark skinned and black people also exist in other parts of the world besides Africa. The Aborgines, Sri Lankans, Fijians Melanesians, people from Southern India have all got dark skin tones (more or less... this can vary). The Geographic location could be a reason. Perhaps the answer to all this is that at one point all the continents were together. Pangea a supercontinent that existed in pre-historic times had Africa, Australia, South America and the Indian subcontinent very close to each other. After several centuries, these continents drifted apart due to changes in the earth's plates and other geological reasons. Well made video, brother. I am glad you are exploring the world and experiencing different cultures and people. Appreciate your efforts. Just one important point though- it is humanity and celebrating our differences that should be r really highlighted. Human race as a whole is more important. There are good and bad people everywhere regardless of race and there is injustice and justice also taking place in various parts of the world that has very little to do with race. I hope we don't just caught up in one narrative. Always keep an open mind. Peace. Greetings from India. :-)

[@johnvosarogo1785]

Dope to see an American brother curious about and connecting with my Pasifika peoples for the world to see. We need more of this type of connective content. Respect and love to you from a half-Fijian from Queens NYC. There's a lot of comments on here that are misunderstood or mistaken though so I gotta give my two cents (it's more like 99 cents but whatever). Melanesians are black for sure. They can reasonably identify as black and be identified as black by other people because they present as black. But they are not African, nor are they Asian for that matter. Geographically speaking Melanesia is part of Oceania which includes all the south pacific islands, as well as New Guinea, Australia, and New Zealand (or Aotearoa as its called in the indigenous Maori language). Melanesians are Melanesians or they're Pasifika, but really they are most accurately identified by the island nations they inhabit, which all have distinct national, cultural, and ethnolinguistic identities. On a more granular level, within some of those societies, people most strongly identify with a tribe or clan and the larger national identity is of secondary importance. The truth is that the Melanesian-Micronesian-Polynesian classification system is an over-generalized, racist system leftover from colonial times. But like the other social construct of race, it's been around long enough and impacted people's lives to a great enough extent that it's been incorporated into people's identities, so that's what makes it real. And also just like race, the boundaries are fuzzy. Fijians demonstrate how these artificial groupings don't hold up at the boundaries. Fiji is considered Melanesia but are Fijians Melanesians or Polynesians? Their appearance resembles Melanesians in complexion and hair type but their stature tends to be much larger. Their language is closely related to Tongan and Samoan, especially Tongan, but totally unrelated to any language or dialect among the hundreds spoken in Australia or New Guinea. The culture is definitely more closely related to Polynesian societies. For example they have a rigidly hierarchical social structure with where chiefs and other roles are hereditary. Melanesian societies do not have that type of social structure. And anyone whose been to Fiji or is Fijian would agree that some Fijians look more Melanesian and others look more Polynesian. Similarly, if you've been to Tonga or Samoa, they tend to look more Polynesian but there's no shortage of folks out there who look just like their more melanated Fijian kin. So obviously Fijians as a whole don't neatly fit into the group they've been put in. Honestly such classifications are only really important to pacific islanders when they need to group up because they are a minority population somewhere racist like Australia where they are likely to be oppressed as a group based on appearances. Pacific islanders in their homelands tend to feel kinship with all other pacific islanders, they are all Kai Pasifika. That being said, I'll reiterate that Melanesian people are black people because they present as black and so they can reasonably identify and be identified by others as black (racial identity is always a self-other dynamic). Its all well and good for Melanesians and other black folks to feel and claim kinship, and there is a basis for that. Melanesians share many of the same struggles. They've been colonized, had land taken, and those who continue to live in colonized territories continue to face violent racist oppression at the hands of the colonizers. When Melanesians reside in the US, as thousands do primarily on the west coast, they can be subject to the same anti-black racism that other black folks face because they present as black. My pops immigrated from Fiji to NYC in the 70s, melanated and with an afro big enough enough to make Huey Newton proud, and I know what he had to deal with. But make no mistake, Melanesians are Melanesians or they are their own national or cultural identities, and the only larger umbrella group they might belong to is that of Pasifika peoples. They are not African, they are not Asian. People need to stop trying to claim them to other groups because when you do that you're erasing their ethnically and culturally distinct identity. Regardless of what anyone believes whether it's genetic science or oral history, Melanesians have been in the pacific islands for long enough to be recognized and respected as their own distinct group. If you believe the genetic sciences, Melanesians peopled Papua New Guinea 50,000 years ago. That means they've been living in the pacific islands for 20,000 years longer than Europeans have been in Europe. That's how old Melanesian roots are. And if you believe the oral history, then they originated on their ancestral islands, so they've been there forever. Either way, they've been living on those islands long enough to be respected as their own identity and not belonging to any other group. It's fine for black folks or asian folks or native american and other indigenous folks to claim kinship with Melanesians and other pacific island ethnicities, and at the least there definitely should be a sense of solidarity among them because Pasifika peoples share with other groups a lot of commonalities in experience, struggles, culture, appearance, energy and other levels. And like i said in the beginning Melanesians are black for sure since they present as black and experience anti-black racism. But don't try to claim them outright as a subgroup of something else. They aren't. They and all Pasifika peoples are their own distinct peoples. They are entitled to being respected as such. All power to all people. ✊🏽

Most Melanesians don't carry Austronesian DNA, Southeast Asians and Polynesians do. The highest concentration of Austronesian DNA is in Maritime Southeast Asia especially in the Philippines. Which is where they first settled when they Austronesians migrated from Taiwan. So you either got than DNA from a Southeast Asian or a Polynesian not from Melanesians. However, they did adapt a lot of things like Austronesian language and sea faring culture but these people carry little no Austronesian DNA.
