Melanesian Papuan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Papuan_people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_people_of_New_Guinea https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q424129 An Indigenous person of New Guinea belonging to one of two major historical lineages: (1) a first wave from the Malay archipelago perhaps 50,000 years ago when New Guinea and Australia were a single landmass called Sahul, and (2) much later a wave of Austronesian people from the north who introduced Austronesian languages and pigs about 3,500 years ago, and who left a small but significant genetic trace in many coastal Papuan peoples (though only a minority of Austronesian-speaking Papuans have detectable Austronesian ancestry).
