places like new guinea never developed new ways they are still working like they did many centuries ago.
people in new guinea didn't advance for thousands of years because they were too busy feeding themselves until the Europeans took them over. They were easily conquered because they didn't have anything to fight back with.
Most of the villages of the Fertile Cresant (middle of a huge landmass) died out, economy too fragile, and climate too dry, little water. The entire community was forced to move on. Wherever they went they transformed human societies. In the 16th century the Europeans took the crops and animals to the new world. They brought over their farming and industrializations.
The towns of Papa New Guinea has become more modern, but they still are in a gap.
Geography is the reason Papa New Guinea has not developed as our society.
