The Andamanese don’t look much like Papuans at all, nor like most Australian aborigines. Peppercorn hair (as seen in the picture I posted) is found only in Andamanese and African Bushmen. Some think those two groups are the oldest, least changed human groups.

My bad, I thought Papuan’s had peppercorn hair as well. It really is fascinating if its environmental adaptation or simple genetics[Wow].
