TL;DR: A population expansion in northeast Australia during the Holocene epoch associated with limited gene flow from this region to the rest of Australia, consistent with the spread of the Pama–Nyungan languages is inferred.

TL;DR: A genetic signature in present-day Papuans that suggests that at least 2% of their genome originates from an early and largely extinct expansion of anatomically modern humans (AMHs) out of Africa earlier than 75,000 years ago is found.

Human Adaptation and Plant Use in Highland New Guinea 49,000 to 44,000 Years Ago
Glenn R. Summerhayes,Matthew Leavesley,Andrew Fairbairn,Herman Mandui,Judith Field,Anne Ford,Richard Fullagar +6 more
TL;DR: Data from the New Guinea Highlands demonstrate the exploitation of the endemic nut Pandanus and yams in archaeological sites dated to 49,000 to 36,000 years ago, which are among the oldest human sites in this region.

New direction in human colonisation of the Pacific: Lapita settlement of south coast New Guinea
Ian J. McNiven,Bruno David,Thomas Richards,Ken Aplin,Brit Asmussen,Jerome Mialanes,Matthew Leavesley,Patrick Faulkner,Sean Ulm +8 more
TL;DR: The Lapita artefacts include characteristic ceramics, shell armbands, stone adzes and obsidian tools as discussed by the authors, which support hypotheses for the migration of pottery-bearing Melanesian marine specialists into Torres Strait of northeast Australia c.2500 cal BP.

TL;DR: It is found that negritos in the Philippines and Papua New Guinea are genetically more similar to their nonpygmy neighbors than to one another and have experienced positive selection at different genes, indicating that geographically distant pygmy groups are likely to have evolved their short stature independently.
