New Guinea which is part of Papu new guinea is called that becuase they thaugth Papua new guineas natives was the same ethnicity as west africas natives becuase Melanesians have brown skin and blacks have dark brown skin and thus thaugth they looked the same. Is the word stan that means land related to the name stan? I kind of know it isn't but i want to ask to be certain
