A Highland New Guinean is shocked to see a white person for the first time in his life, in 1930. Before 1930, Highlanders thought they were the only living people in the world.

''We believed our dead went over there, turned white, and came back as spirits. That's how we explained the white man: our own dead had returned.'' Those were some of his words...

Papua New Guinea is a county in the region of Oceania, in Pacific Ocean. First settled tens of thousands of years ago, country's population now numbers 9.6 million. Due to its harsh geography, consisting of mountains, jungles, and isolated river valleys, the country is now home to 600 different tribes and hundreds of different languages.

According to researchers early inhabitants are believed to have arrived in Papua New Guinea about 60,000 years ago from aoutheast asia during an lce Age period when the sea was lower and distances between islands was shorter. New Guinea (as it used to be known), one of the first landmasses after Africa and Eurasia to be populated by modern humans, had its first migration at about the same time as Australia, placing us alongside one of the oldest continuous cultures on the planet. Agriculture was independently developed in New Guinea highlands around 7000 BC, making it one of the few areas of original plant domestication in the world. A major migration of Austronesia speaking peoples came to our coastal regions roughly 2500 years ago, along with the introduction of pottery, pigs and certain fishing techniques.

The most intelligent family in England and certainly in the world, is African and originally from Nigeria. They are in the Guinness Book of Records as the most intelligent family in England.
In the Imafidon family, there are twins Peter and Paula, who obtained the equivalent of high school at the age of 9 and became the youngest to attend the University of Cambridge, where they broke the record for mathematics at this university. In addition, both are national champions in sports disciplines.
The funny thing is that this record was brought before them by their older sister Cristina Imafidon, who had obtained high school at the age of 11 and at 14 was pursuing a master''s degree in mathematics and statistics.
But this is not all, there is also sister Samantha Imafidon who was in 3rd grade at 8 years old. And who is the UK national 100m champion? Imafidon children break all records.
His father is a famous professor at Oxford University
