It's shame we are about to lose these kind of unique cultures because of globalization, christianity, racial religious and ethnic persecution, colonialism, illegal loggings and deforestration. And in the case of West Papuan tribes it's also Indonesian military. The last remaining cultures should be strictly protected from western problems and let them live the way they want themselves.

Hi, thats me - the director of the movie "PAPUA versus us" and these extra specials. I am quite happy to initialise a broad discussion on this topic. But up to now I find that nobody realy want's to get involved in this problem. And as you said: it's quite complex, because so many different interests are involved.

@Tom101229 Can you explain this further. Like the origination of the races etc. Also, elaborate on this Niger-Saharan race. This is the first time that I've heard of them. Thanks.

These five races are disappearing. One already has, the Paleo-Indians.

The Indo-Pacific race has been and still is continuing to intermarry into the Niger-Saharan race by increasing contacts with Austronesians (Indonesians to be specific) and Europeans (the Dutch and/or the British).

Australian Aboriginals have been intermarrying with Europeans, (Anglo-Australians).

And the Khoisan has been intermarrying with Zulus and Afrikaners (Dutch), both which belong to the Niger-Saharan Race.

5) Khoisan.

[Tom101229]

Five races of humans had existed throughout time.

1) Paleo-Indian - gone, intermarried with the more current Native Americans.

2) Niger-Saharan - 99.999% of all humans belongs to this race regardless of their skin.

3) Indo-Pacific - Negritos, Tasmanians, and many Papuans belong to this race.

4) Australian-Papuan Race - Some Papuans in fact belong to this race along with Australian Aboriginals.
