BOUGAINVILLEANS : EXTREMELY DARK , BLONDE & NON-AFRICAN. Are They ACTUALLY Black?

- Bougainville Island with approximately 300,000 inhabitants, is the largest of the Solomon Islands archipelago, and has a rich and complex history. It is part of Papua New Guinea and lies to the east of New Guinea and northwest of the Solomon Islands chain. Its history dates back much further, with evidence of human habitation stretching back at least 29,000 years. These early inhabitants were part of the Austronesian expansion, which began around 3000 BCE from Taiwan and spread across the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Genetics and Phenotype
The people of Bougainville are primarily of Melanesian descent, characterized by a high degree of genetic diversity due to their long history of settlement and relative isolation. Studies have shown that the population has a significant amount of Denisovan DNA, indicating ancient interbreeding with this archaic human species. Bougainvilleans have one of the highest frequencies of a unique genetic marker, the Denisovan gene than in many other populations, highlighting their unique place in human history. This gene contributes to their distinctive physical characteristics.
One of the great puzzles of Bougainville is why its people are so distinctive in appearance from most other people in the region, particularly why they are so black. Did some Africans somehow move into this area thousands of years ago? In broader comparisons, Bougainville people are, on average, darker as a group than African-Americans. They are in fact blacker than most Africans.
Phenotypically, Bougainvilleans typically have dark skin, curly hair, and robust facial features, which are common traits among Melanesian populations. There is also significant variation within the population though and shockingly it not rare to see jet black Bougainvilleans with blonde hair. The blonde is caused by a mutation in the TYRP1 gene. This gene is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for hair, skin, and eye color. This mutation is different from the one that causes blonde hair in Europeans.
Are they black?
The identity of Bougainvilleans as a "black" people is both a reflection of their Melanesian heritage and a political statement. During the Bougainville Civil War (1988-1998), the term "black" became a symbol of resistance against perceived exploitation and marginalization by the predominantly lighter-skinned Papua New Guinean government and mining companies. This period of conflict was driven by issues related to land rights, environmental degradation, and demands for greater autonomy. So I believe it is accurate to say that these people, though not African, strongly consider themselves to be black. However it’s important to note that to an ordinary Bougainvillean, tribe holds more significance than the broader racial identity.
Before we end the video, here Ten Surprising Facts about Bougainville People that you probably didn’t know.
1. In a 2019 referendum where 98% of Bougainvilleans voted for independence from Papua New Guinea, is a testament to the strong national identity and desire for self-governance among the people of Bougainville. It is planned that the island will gain full independence from Papua New Guinea in 2027.
2. The indigenous people of Bougainville Island successfully carried out the world’s first "eco-revolution" closing down one of the world’s largest mines, driving away private security and in turn the Papua New Guinea and Australian army using home-made weapons and running vehicles on coconut oil. Bougainville was home to one of the world's largest open-pit copper mines, the Panguna Mine.
3. Bougainville receives some of the highest rainfall in the world, contributing to its lush tropical environment.
4. Traditionally, shell money, made from strings of shells, is used in important transactions, such as paying bride price, compensation, and in rituals.
5. On average Bougainville people tend to be big with broad chests due to good nutrition given the abundance of food on the island.
6. Newcomers to Bougainville are welcomed in an unusual way. With water from a bamboo cane. The feet are washed in what is known as the island baptism.
7. . The island is named after the French explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainville, who visited the island in 1768.
8. Although Bougainville Islanders are fewer than 300000, an astonishing 20 languages are spoken by its inhabitants.
9. Bougainvilleans are known for their strong sense of community and cultural pride. Traditional social structures are based on clan systems, with each clan having its own customs, land, and leadership. These clans are matrilineal, meaning that descent and inheritance are traced through the female line.
I'm a Melanesian. I'm from Solomon Islands. I moved to Australia 20 years ago and the question I'm most asked by strangers (usually white Australian) is, "Which part of Africa are you from?" To which I normally reply, "Take a wild guess. Not all black people come from Africa." 😂 I have been asked on this particular question by so many random people that it became really annoying so I started giving people a full-on lecture on my background and my beautiful country Solomon Islands. 😂
😂😂Thanks for stopping by! Greetings and love from Africa. You are our brethren. ❤
Hello madam to your surprise you are African please read about African migration to other parts of the world. Once you dark,skin person you are from Africa
@@AfroArtistaFilms Love your videos ❤️😊
Me too, I'm a Melanesian from Papua New Guinea and an African asked me if I was an Igbo woman from Nigeria 😂😂😂
Africa people don't know about us in the Pacific countries IAM Melanesian Papuan I was in Africa for 10years I was abused by African people because I spoke English all the time and didn't speak their local language
I was told that IAM African person I told them I was Australasian.. but they never believe me
Also in UK they would say racist things and tell me to go back to my black people and country ..so I did a DNA test
IAM not African but I have 1 percent Eskimo in me..IAM even darker skin tone and my family are all blonde hair
Thank you for featuring my island. All the way from Bougainville with love.
I hope the younger generation realizing bettle nut isn't doing there people any good avoid using it.....
@@lisamomon6793 it the media thats blowing it out of proportion. the Nut is actually is of cultural significance. My ancestors have been chewing that nut for thousands of years with out any oral mention of mouth cancer. The cancer was devveloping when artificial lime began organically made lime using traditional proccess
Our pleasure!
Yes it is also traditional in Bangladesh and now some people mix it with lime and tobacco
Do you not wonder why they have kept the name of a white man as the founder of the Island, rather than returning it to its original name? Where is the pride in your Island since it is independent?
Papua New Guinean 🇵🇬 here. Thank you for featuring our darker brothers and sisters.
The part about the cancer is heartbreaking 💔
WOW! I felt the same way:(
GROSSLY INACCURATE! All cancers arrived on our shores with western civilization. The betel nut has been consumed by South east asians, Indians, South Americans and Melanesians for thousands of years and nobody ever died of cancer! Go figure.
Well they need the education to let them know that habit of chewing that fruit is killing them. Trust me they won’t believe it unless a scientist and a researcher from their clan tells them
Again READ DUETERONOMY 28:15-68. HERE READ THIS EZEKIEL 25;14, 36:5, ALL THIS COMES FROM HATRED!!!!! EZEKIEL 35:5, HEAR THE LORD HOSEA 4:6. BUT THE GREAT THING ISAIAH 11:12. ❤

@@AfroArtistaFilmsFilms Denisovans left Africa earlier before the boat travellers or slavery. Denisovans are almost as old, if not older than the neanderthals.
Just know with our a doubt that they are "AFRICAN" DESCENDANTS! The European, are @ it again , Lying, about our brothers & sisters! They're BLACK AND HAVE STRONG MELANIN in their skin!!!!!
@KaeMaiden Hey, these people have Denisovan admixture but that is not what they are. Are Europeans now Neanderthals because they mixed with them? They are Africans who left the continent a long time ago.
Black skin was worldwide, not only in Africa. The original people of this planet.
U mean dark brown skin, 99% of humans don't have black skin😂
@@The-Heart-Will-Testifynobody has black skin. Semantics aside you know what was meant
True
Actually sub Saharan Africans are the original people of the earth, Haplogroup A is the oldest Y chromosome DNA of humans, which is strictly sub Saharan African. Yemen, aboriginals of Australia & south India aren’t older than any Nilotic people group.
@@billiondollarambition who said that the white man
No way! Oh my God. These are my relatives😮 The beats of 🥁 drums, tone, rhythm 🪘 and the dance is exactly like our cultural dance. Even dress code. We are the Lugbara people living in Uganda, Congo and Sudan.
I'm just bedazzled ❤
Uganda.. Maybe t he is where Polynesians got there black slaves.. Interesting
I am from PNG. 🇵🇬. I will now search on the information you have provided about your people. There could be a connection somewhere. 💞😊🤗
Well according to the book titled "Susu Economics" written by Paul Alfred Barton there was an ancient trade route around 5000 years ago between this region of the world and east Africa, that's how the banana was introduced to Africa.
Exactly! The rhythm is 100% African
Yes these are our brothers and sisters. Imagine they say Chinese and Japanese originated from Africa but not these...?! The drums, the nose, the culture ...all of it is African.
This the best and factual documentary I have seen so far about genetics of bougainville people. Well done
I'm sorry I listened to your video of the traits from color to hair to genes to nomads..But all I see is MY BRAUTIFUL PEOPLE ❤❤ & I would like to claim them with love & respect🙏🏽🙏🏽💪🏽💪🏽💥
Good music from the Bouganvilleans at the end!!!
it looks like they're beating PVC sewage pipes with flip-flops 🤣 Sounds awesome
the instruments at the end are amazing. That skill level is incredible
Yes sir please let me know if you get the name of it straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Thanks bro and peace from West Africa liberia and the instrumental at the end is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 💕💕
What was recently discovered is that Africa is the most generically diverse continent on the earth. A person from the Angola is very different from a person from Chad or Kenya.
Recently discovered by Americans.
I'm from Angola, and we already knew that...
In Africa we have tribes, my tribe is from Cabinda, we are Ibindas, we speak Fiote, I come from the Tati branch, and we are different from every tribe in Angola.
We have cousins in the Congos (Camavinga from Real Madrid is our cousin), but we are all different because of tribalism.
57 countries in Africa equals a lot of different tribes.
"A person from the US, canada, australia and newzeland is very different from a person from England""..!!
@@bsilva3879🇦🇴🇦🇴🇳🇱🇸🇷🇸🇷
And these people are still not African, and that's ok
@@francebootun9598not a good example I would say people from Switzerland are different then Brit’s and Dutch are different then German for one Australians are mainly welsh and a white person in America can be any sort of mix so not a good example whatsoever
Married to a Bougainvillean and I can say they are truly unique in every way, their way of life and ability to do their own inventions. When they eventually gain their independence,they will soar higher.
Everything is so similar to African tradition: the drums, songs, dances, even the shell money. And their language sounds similar too. It's like when I listen to another Bantu language - it sounds so familiar, but I can't understand what they're saying. I did some research and found many similarities. For example, in the Nasioi language, the word "ana" refers to a child, which is very similar to the Bantu family words like "ana," "bana," "mwana," and "twana." This is also the case with some prepositions, such as "to." They say "ko," and in Bantu languages, "ko" and "ku" (pronounced as "koo") are generally used.
My study was only focused on Bantu languages, but I'm certain connections can be found between other African language families, just as there are interconnections among many African cultures (traditions, religion, and language).
My theory is that it's only been a long time since we separated, so change is bound to happen until it becomes almost unrecognizable, but there will always be aspects that remain the same.
I'd also like to add that I don't think being related to Africa means they're African. They are not African but definitely related or could as well have come from Africa, like Caribbeans, Brazilians, and possibly any black community with curly hair. They've been there for generations, and that's their newfound identity, but they need to know their roots.
Thankyou I am a Bougainvillean and have always wondered where my ancestors came from and why we are very black.
@@TheresiaTukana-mw4hy You’re a part of the original people of this planet. Every continent had brown Negro peoples living as the indigenous folk. The geography, cultures and customs are what differentiated groups of course.

Beautiful people. I learned a brief history of the Bougainville people during dental schools while learning the effects betel nut. This was very informative, thank you for sharing.

Thank you! This is a very interesting video. It demonstrates the concept of convergent evolution. To survive at a latitude with high solar radiation/UV exposure, humans require dark skin.
Similarly, curly hair rises above the scalp, which allows air to flow through to cool the body. Straight hair rests on the head and conserves heat.
wrong slaves of polynesians
This is much better researched than your previous ones. Thanks.
The music at the beginning is awesome!!
Very good information. You just enhanced my Geography knowledge. Thank you!
The music with the bamboo pipes at the closing is so cool!

@@blackrampage2 aren't white people out of Africa too? If these folks left Africa 12,000 years ago and Europeans left Africa 20-12,000 years ago wouldn't both groups be equally African?
Matriarcal inheritance shows me that these people are African of origin. Thank you for sharing
Many indigenous American tribes are Matrilineal.
Rubbish. Tons of Asian cultures do that. That is a transcultural norm not an African norm. In fact it’s more of an Asian culture than African culture. It’s more popular in Asian culture. Education is your best bet!
Yea, that's all I need to know about your level of education and knowledge.
Thank you.
So, hearing a statement on a 9-minute video has shown you that these people are of African origin? Yet, geneticists are still trying to figure it out. 🤦♂ Maybe you should get with the experts with all that great wisdom.
Wait....so we can say the "N" word?
I like these people. I also remember watching the Coconut Revolution a few years ago. Much love ❤ from AMERICA!! 🇺🇸

I'm deeply moved that the black race exists in many parts of the world especially in those islands. I'm also informed that many of them were hunted like animals by the colonialists and are robbed of land, exploited and systematically depopulated. Now that they are getting exposed, their rights must be absolutely respected and they need to increase in population.
The black race?
They love singing and dancing just like all melanated people. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

as someone whos Melanesian and is part of bouganville let me tell you that we may look like africans but our culture , traditions and just us in genral are a whole different ethnicity. heritage and community. like how americans and europeans are different. besides ive been to africa and i feel like we're more inclined with the southeast asian countries then africa
they act as thou whites colonized you so funny.. your the one melanesian island who was quite lucky
lol.. that last bit was funny.. sounded like an african american.. we black.. but we identify as native indians lol not africa
South east Asians chew betelnut and we do too. 😅
Playing drums,wearing sisal nd Animal skin, Ostrich feathers on the head,practicing farming,hunting nd gathering...yeah you're very different from Africans😅😅😅😅😅
It seems some of you people who are black and far African don't know much about African. Go and do your research well about ancient migration from Africa and you will realize that all dark skin people are from Africa. It may surprise you that your language Will have some words from some tribes in Africa
You don’t have to be African or have African ancestry to have dark skin. Dark skin evolved as an adaptation to high levels of UV radiation from the sun in regions near the equator, such as Bougainville.
Melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, protects against the harmful effects of UV radiation. Therefore, people with darker skin tones are more prevalent in regions with intense sunlight, regardless of specific racial or genetic backgrounds.
So, dark skin is primarily a result of adaptation to environmental factors rather than a direct consequence of race or specific genetic heritage.
Neurological melanin, EU melanin,pheomelanin, I'm just now learning of a fourth type Cosmic melanin. Which melanin are you talking about?
These people still came from Africa though, not outer space. They just brought their features with them and didn’t change much.

Anti-Blackness and racism is worldwide. People won’t admit that they hate Black people and Africans and don’t they don’t even know why or have a good reason for it. But will play games and say “We Wuz” and bs like that.
People hate the fact that Black people populated the planet before everyone else.
These people are Black and have those features not because they developed them THERE, but because brought that with them from Africa, it’s THAT simple.
I love the music so much.Sounds like that from West Africa.
Black is beauty wherever you are, We love you brothers and sisters out side Africa 👍
LMBO so that's why they glue and sow EUROPEAN hair to their heads.
All skin tones are beautiful. Only a racist (check out the actual definition) thinks their race is superior
It seems you don't know Africa at all. Or you intentionally ignore the truth. Africa is so genetically diverse that you will find a group of people not even 300 km away from one another being very different genetically. Even after being neighbors for thousands of years.
You can not reduce Africa to one small basket and then proclame that some white people are genetically closer to Africa than the Islanders. Which Africa? The one you reduced to a single small basket in your mind ?
Precisely

He was paid to say nonsense.
@@da_nature1 Precisely. Throwing into ambiguity what it means to be African and the African Diaspora. Throwing into ambiguity the origins of man.
You are right. I think it would have been better said that those Solomon Islanders are closer to Asians than they are to most continental Africans. Some E1B1 Africans are more related to Eurasians than they are to Hadzabe groups who cluster with the B haplogroup.
According to the Southern Dispersal theory, Melanesians have African ancestry. This theory suggests that hominid populations from Africa migrated along the southern edge of Asia eventually reaching the ancient continent of Sahul, which is now Australia and New Guinea. The first migration to Sahul occurred over 40,000 years ago, when the two landmasses were connected by a land bridge due to lower sea levels. From Sahul, Melanesians traveled east through India, Southeast Asia, southern China, and Indonesia, eventually reaching the Pacific islands.
South Asians Are Africans mixed with Mongols
This is stupid ignorant white people's science and makes no sense if you pay attention to aboriginal art. Austaloids were doing far more things that africans. That's from prehistoric days. We can tell from the wall art.
@@firstnationfall5451 They even sailed acrosz the Indian Ocean.
That's a theory. Melanesians are aboriginals not of african descent, that's why in Australia the Australian government pays them compensation for taking their land. Does that happen in south Africa ? No
Scientists agree that all humans have a single origin. So, somewhere back in time, Africans and Melansians have common ancestors.
They belong to the first wave of immigrants out of Africa. The African genome is the most diverse, this indicates that this is the original human genome.
No they do not. Africa is not the oldest continent on earth...The Americas are! Antediluvian civilization. Do your homework.

@martinfiay8908 ok... don't include all of us with you...brother. Peace.
There are white people in Europe because they live further from the sun. There are Serbians and Eskimos who have Asiatic features and are pale as snow. There are South Indians and Sri Lanka's who are darker than me. Anyway, science with facts doesn't lie unless it's a lie itself. Just look at the map and connect the dots. The Sentinel Islands in the Indian Ocean are dark people, so as the Native Austrlians. Original inhabitants of Malaysia and Philippines are dark skin too. Most of the oral tales around PNG say we came from the North west or sunset. The possible larger land mass that we came from is Asia. Africans don't have Denisovans DNA like Asians Melanesians and other groups.
They don't look african at all you idiot. They don't look like anyone in Africa. The only thing similar is melanated skin. Thats it. I swear living in euro societies really makes black people retarded. How u look at them and see african? It's retarded I bet you can't tell the difference between a jaguar and leopard

So...if they have a COLONIZED name wouldn't it be reasonable to believe this information comes from a Colonizing mind?

@@BRKS627
Because many of their elders still know it, and being the fact that ALL humans came from Africa, which includes THEM, it’s more than obvious that they brought those same features with them to the Pacific/Oceana, that indigenous Africans STILL have to this day.
It’s not all convoluted and complicated like y’all try on purpose to make it out to be.
They left Africa thousands of years ago, brought those features with them and that’s it. All of this trying to explain it away is quite suspect.(Anti-Blackness/Anti-Africanness)
Even within modern Africa, there’s Black Africans that have totally different genotypes, AND phenotypes. Africa has the highest level of genetic diversity in the world.

Why are we asking if black people are black??? Being African and being black are two different things.
correct but if you like the true origins and not lies like we from africa travel the world.. is absolutly rubbish.. these people are the slaves of the tongan polynesian empire
It is true trying to label dark skin as purely African is limiting but I think it bears significance in that it points to not losing something associated with the motherland and the it’s main trait that leads to discrimination within our most relevant history…so it invariably creates a bond
Black Americans are African American. Africans are Black! Y’all came late to the party with that one 😂😂😂 it’s a title given to us by the Europeans (had to remind you incase you forgot)
As far back at 1898, my family on censors are ‘black’ but in 1898 American black were still labelled ‘knee grow OR coloured.’
The way I see American blacks today fighting tooth and nail for that title is MAAAAD!
@missqt48 Yes and No. Pepi or another NGU in KMT called himself Black. KMT was called the black land. Yes, when they see us, they have called us black. But that is irrelevant. They have a Global group that considers themselves white. So we also have a global group of Black people. We are at war in every part of the planet. You can call yourself what you want they will still see you as black.
@ChiquitaSpeaks of course. But we must realize bkack people are global. This Earth is ours. We have been here for millions of years. We are the first in every land. The albino/ Neanderthal hybrid mutated in the past 20 thousand years. They haven't been here.
Good report. Just one thing to say about the image why did you choose this black woman? why did you choose such a sexualized photo? I noticed that a lot of black UA-camrs put forward this kind of image to attract people. So the black woman is used as bait?! There is definitely a problem in the community but those who think they are awake are not really awake.

Very very Interesting . This is one mysterious world ! Thanks for the video..
I understand and I appreciate your tenaciousness. I am a historian and it is imperative to impart history no matter the contrast. We as humans may not always agree but we can hear each other out as civilized beings or at least try. If our paths never cross be blessed. INSHALLAH
Thease men and women are African no doubt. Look at their beautiful skin.
and features africans look all the same i can't tell expect for bushmen
@@ilove100timesAfrican look all the same you must be trolling or plain ignorant
Exactly!
Africans without African DNA ... sort of a paradox!
WE ALSO HAVE PINK PEOPLE TOO.
The first sentence right off the bat is mis leading they are still people descended out of africa
But also aren't the Europeans?
@@Flowers4848Nah, out of Africa theory has been dead in the water in academia for a decade. It's just people that don't keep up with science that still think that.
@@Flowers4848The multiregional hypothesis, also known as multiregional evolution (MRE) or the polycentric hypothesis, is a scientific model that suggests that modern humans evolved in different locations over a long period of time.
This is the current theory most supported in academia today.
@@timasuna1756 Ok ... In scientific reasoning, a hypothesis is a tentative explanation that can be tested, while a theory is a well-established explanation that's supported by evidence:

Where do you think they came from? Do you think they just spawned on that island? Look at the African traditions they uphold.
He's so ignorant
What African traditions? You ignorant one. Melanesians are not Africans nor culturally related to them. Go find something to claim.
Yea they r african.
Man those ppl are from there.Geesh.Africa isn't the only place to ever exsist on the PLANET where melanated ppl are from,as long as there were animals and plant life there they could have ALWAYS been from there since the beginning of time!!!!
They are not African. They're descendants of desinova
From what I know about African genetics is that due to Africa being the birth place of civilization and the many different climate changes over the thousands and thousands of years of human existence. These ppls african ancestors probably died out a very long time ago and these ppl were apart of the first waves of ppl that left Africa and went to the pacific. Which is why their ancestry won’t show a genetic African link but the cultural and biological similarities to me prove of the groups being distant cousins so to speak. 😊
It’s who’s doing the test, we KNOW Our people when we see 👀 them. They know who we are. 🙏🏿🤴🏾👸🏾🙌🏾
Come Uganda 🇺🇬 East Africa and visit the region of West Nile, Arua district and you will see Bougenville 😂❤
The poster was wrong. Their connection to Africa is well documented. They are with no question connected to And are a part of Africa.
@@truthseeker215 INSHALLAH.
You sound like a colonizer with that logic
This explains a lot. I’m African American and I got the Melanesian dna. It explains my blue black cousins with very light eyes and and light hair. It’s not blonde. Just light. I don’t know what color it is. They look odd cause you don’t see that too often in America or anywhere really.
If you are ever blessed to travel throughout the continent of Africa and other land mass's you will see black people with blue-green- hazel-auburn-light brown eyes along with kinky nappy-wavy-straight -pepper corn hair we BLACKS have every known phenotype known to MAN eye color-hair color blonde auburn red you name it 'cuz' as Elijah Muhammad said many years ago before his death we BLACKS or TRUE MAN --THE BLACK AFRICAN ASIATIC BLACKMAN!
You have the Melansian dna? So that wouldn't make you anything but a descendant of Africa. This narrator robot who was scripted by a racist misinformed YOu. Guinea (West Africa): Located in West Africa, predominantly inhabited by Black Africans.
Guinea-Bissau: Another West African country, also predominantly Black African.
Equatorial Guinea: In Central Africa, with a diverse population including Black Africans.
Papua New Guinea: In Oceania, with indigenous Melanesian populations.. What do all these places have in common? African diaspora. There is NO local on this planet name Guinea without African Diaspora in it. As a matter of fact the name Guinea was created to refer to a region of WEST AFRICA. Which DNA test did you take?
Yes, they are black. But, not African black or a close descendant. Just an opinion from a black american. I wonder do they have the fast muscle twitch found in Africans and their descendants.🤔
So that makes you african, american, melanesian?
Interesting
Bougainvilleans are not the only Melanesians with these characteristics. So do Papuans, Vanuatuans, Solomon Islanders, Torres Strait Islanders, Kanaks of New Caledonia, and Fijians.
Fijians more than half mixed with Polynesians, East Indians and cacausians.
Thanks so much for making a video about my island proud to be black ❤❤❤
They are just like North America Indians!!! The real Black Indians of America
we not blind just go look up the native indians 1800 most beautiful woman i ever seen! hair like horse hair.. opps
real black indians if they look like these people or people in africa will still have the same effect just some more black folks i guess lol
Dane Calloway tribe are you? 😂 A lost people, but also not a lost tribe of Israel 😅 culture vultures gonna vulture I guess 🤷
I hear they're also the first Jews,the moors,the British ,the Egyptians,they wanna be Everyone nd everything but who they truly are.,but not all of them though,just the Dan calloway nut jobs@@timasuna1756
@mcarr7617 tell me you are a black American without telling me... some of you folks gotta chill. Claiming most stuff over nothing. Even the Africans from Africa are tired of you. But I don't blame you.
Why is it so difficult for people to understand that unless human remains of Homo Sapiens Sapiens at least 300,000 years or older is found in Bougainville, or anywhere else, people from Bougainville originated in Africa 10’s of thousands of years ago as ALL human life began there. Being genetically diverse doesn’t exclude African origins as Africans are the most genetically diverse humans on the planet. If I’m wrong point me to any genetic or anthropological studies to show humans on those Islands 300,000 years ago or older than humans from Africa.
That was an unfortunate and inflammatory headline in a good information video.
I don't understand why people don't know that black people literally exist everywhere. Dark skin, broad featured, frizzy hair- all of these things are ancient human characteristics. That's why a lot of people have dark skin, curly hair, and broad features like what we associate with Africans. They are black people, not the same as Africans, but they look the way they do for a reason
What was the real name of this place before Mister french man went to that place...
they didn;t really give a dang when they came to these islands.. it was more like master and slave mentality
Wonderful thumbnail 😉🙃
😂
They seem happy, let's just leave them alone.
They should ban the consumption of the beetle nut. The music is good and sounds like my African banjo music.
Because it is connected despited the racist information this channel is trying to pass in this video. They are part of the African Diaspora.
Hmmm not really. They are black but not African. Well if they wanna identify with the motherland no problem@@lesserlight
Am I black or African? Just by looking at my PD..@ze_kangz932
@@ze_kangz932They are Denisovans who left Africa earlier before the boat travellers or slavery. Denisovans are almost as old if not older than the neanderthals.
@@KaeMaiden Why is that we wanna absolutely attach all black populations to Africa?! I'm a black African and I find that weird. The black Americans and black Europeans who just arrived in Europe and America a couple thousand years ago or with the slave trades sure, they are.
But I don't get why black populations who were in Asia multiple millennia ago (Melanesians and aboriginal Australians about 70k-80k years old) get called of African descent. That's like saying Europeans or Arabs are of African descent, because their ancestors left Africa aeons ago. And I know for a fact they would absolutely despise the fact(actual, proved, scientific fact) that they are just a branch of an African species, homo sapiens. And just a very recent one for that matter.
It's either we acknowledge that all of humanity is of African descent(and for the matter stopping discrimination against the original humans, the black folks), or we let this fact be a detail and propagate whatever political narrative we want that serves the needs of each human group.
And don't get me wrong, it's not like I don't want them to identify with Africa, far from that. But it has to come from them (Melanesians, aboriginals, Polynesians...)with who they wanna identify with. And we (the Africans) should not try to impose on them that they come from Africa. That's my opinion on the matter.
This is so beautiful I just love this people may thy prosper and grow.

What do Ancestry DNA results read?
Why do you guys heavily rely on GEW labs to give you genetic results. I thought many would have clocked by now.
Zero links to African genes!
Those databases were created. I wouldn’t trust them 100% either.

Exactly! This content is not entirely factual. Every human being carries an African gene, even if some are untraceable due to their ancestors leaving the continent thousands of years ago.
@@blackrampage2😂😂😂😂
IN addition the poster of the video has poor to NO research skillz. IT because it is an automated voice, claimed O percent Africa heridity in these people while being they are Haplogroup m256 means they were derived from Haplogroup L3. Need I tell you to whom Haplogroup L3 belongs to? I'll tell you anyway. Africans. The L Haplogroup is the original Haplogroup.

meaning this is a historical record europeans deny.. but truth is.. ppng has 100s of different languages.. meaning different black tribes taken out of Africa
yeah we polynesians enslaved them they come from different parts of africa
They were not taken out of Africa..they migrated from Africa...

@4:39 "So I believe it is accurate to say that these people, though not African, strongly consider themselves to be black." They're not playing silly word games and most people don't. A rose is a rose is a rose by any other name, and that includes black people people. They sound like all the African Americans I've known in my 60+ years including the fairest skinned with light eyes like those in my family. We don't need the paperwork from 23&Me to deny what our eyes see.
Great video 💯💎💥🔥👍
Oh my so beautiful
Even Afrokans are not Afrokans they are Kwa, Bantu, Shan, Khoi peoples. These people are the descendants of the first black people who travelled to other lands. people should not get things twisted. AFROKA is the land culture and language is different. All melonated curly hair people are from the same people's and languages ancestors.

For years people have been told, all 'Black" people are not from Africa. 💀🖤
And for years that statement has been WRONG.
@@lesserlight That statement is right. Black people are from all over this globe not just one piece of land mass
And they walked out of Africa and went to every part of the earth.
All I know is we are black and we are all ONE, blame the colonizers for the confusion and the name tagging in order to seperate us all humans.
It's all their doing!
All people started in Africa and evolved somewhere else when they migrated. 🤦🏻♀️
