Automated excerpt

And then all of a sudden, some random Aussie stumbles upon the highlands and discovers a million people living there. These are the same people who would go on to walk south and become the Australian Aboriginal people, at the time when New Guinea and Australia were connected by land.

Since then it has slowly spread through the coastal regions and eventually the highlands of Papua New Guinea.
