Je, ni Wapapua wenye asili ya Kiafrika? Asili Hii

Je, Wapapua wana asili ya Kiafrika ? Inafurahisha kujua juu ya asili ya watu wa Papua, mkoa wa mashariki mwa Indonesia . Katiba inasema kwamba kwa kuzingatia Sheria Maalum ya Kujiendesha kwa Papua, Wapapua Wenyeji (OAP) ni watu wanaotoka katika jamii ya Melanesia .

Melanesia ni kundi la visiwa vya Mashariki mwa Indonesia, pamoja na Papua. Mbio kubwa zaidi inayoishi eneo hili ni Melanesoid. Wamelanesia wana sifa ya ngozi nyeusi, pua pana, nywele nyeusi zilizopinda na miili imara. Kimwili karibu sawa na makabila ya Papua ambao wana sifa za miili mikubwa, ngozi nyeusi na nywele zilizojisokota. Hii ni tabia ya jamii ya Wamelanesi wanaoishi kwenye Kisiwa cha Papua na ni kabila la kiasili.

Watu wa Melanesia ambao ni mababu wa Papua wanafikiriwa kuwa waliishi katika visiwa hivyo kwa muda mrefu, muda mrefu kabla ya watu wengine kuja Indonesia. Taifa la Melanesoid au linaloitwa Papua Melanesoid ni la jamii ya Negroid. Wapapua wanajulikana kuwa na shauku ya kudumisha mila na hekima ya wenyeji. Kuna wale wanaofikiri kwamba Papua ni tofauti na jamii ya wastani ya wakazi katika Indonesia ya Kati na Magharibi.

Hata hivyo, hili linaweza kujibiwa na kitabu cha Atlas Walisongo cha Agus Sunyoto ambacho kinaeleza data kutoka kwa Taasisi ya Eijkman kuhusu wakazi wa visiwa hivyo siku za nyuma, ambao ni Homo Erectus kutoka Afrika waliokuja karibu miaka 70,000-60,000 iliyopita na Homo Sapiens kutoka Afrika ambao. ilikuja karibu miaka 50,000-40,000 iliyopita. Wazao wa Homo Erectus wa Kiafrika waliitwa baadaye mbio za Melanesia. Wakati huo huo, wazao wa Homo Sapiens wanaotoka Asia wanaitwa mbio za Austronesian.

Mbio za Melanesia, ambazo zimeenea katika makabila mbalimbali tangu miaka 70,000 KK, zimeishi Papua, Australian New Guinea na visiwa vya Pasifiki kama vile Bismarck, Solomon, New Caledonia na Fiji.

Hapo zamani, mababu wa makabila ya Melanesia waliishi kisiwa cha Java, ambacho ni mbio za Proto Melanesia zilizoitwa Homo Wajakensis. Kutokana na kuzoeana na wahamiaji wapya ambao waliendelea kusukumana katika maeneo ya makazi, baadhi yao walikimbilia mashariki na wengine walichanganyika na mbio mpya ya wahamiaji hadi utambulisho wao wa Melanesia ulipopotea. Wakati huohuo, walikimbilia mashariki na hawakuwa na wakati wa kufika Papua, wakifukuzwa na mkondo wa mashariki wa mbio za Austronesian (Malay) na kuoana. Wazao wa wale walio na mchanganyiko wa damu ya Melanesia-Austronesian (Malay) wanaoishi katika visiwa vya Nusa Tenggara Mashariki, Timor Leste na Maluku. Kisha, Melanesoid ilihamia mashariki ya Indonesia baada ya kuwasili kwa Wamalay wa Kale. Kwa hakika, katika baadhi ya maeneo kuna wale wanaopata uzoefu wa kuchanganya na mbio za Old Malay. Ujumbe mwingine, wengi wa mbio za Melanesia hupatikana Indonesia au karibu asilimia 80 ya idadi ya watu. Data hii ilifichuliwa na Profesa Harry Truman Simanjuntak, mwanaakiolojia mkuu kutoka Kituo cha Utafiti wa Akiolojia cha Kitaifa aliyeandika kitabu ‘Melanesia Diaspora in the Archipelago’. Inasemekana kuwa kitovu cha mbio za Melanesia kimegawanywa katika kanda tatu zilizoendelea katika visiwa, Melanesia Magharibi na Australia. Melanesia Magharibi, haswa katika eneo kubwa la kisiwa, imeenea kote Papua na Papua New Guinea. Kisha ikaenea hadi Maluku, Maluku Kaskazini na maeneo ya jirani. Hadi mwishowe, wakati wa uhuru, jamii mbili zilizokaa visiwa viliungana katika Jamhuri ya Indonesia na kuunda uhusiano wa kibaolojia na kitamaduni hadi leo. Melanesia katika visiwa inaweza kufuatiliwa kupitia matokeo ambayo yanaonyesha kufanana na bado ingalipo hadi leo.
