Papuan - Papuan (English spelling)
It can refer to the people who live in the highlands of New Guinea, or to the people who live in Papua New Guinea (eastern New Guinea). The highlanders are racially Australoid or Oceanic Negrito, and are the oldest group to have pushed out from the Asian continent into the Pacific Ocean. These people arrived on New Guinea about 30,000 years ago, but were pushed into the highlands by the Mongoloids who arrived later. They are generally called New Guinea Highlanders, and form a distinct racial group from the rest of Melanesia.
