Fifty years ago the New Guinea highlands were isolated and unknown
to outsiders. As the highland peoples of New Guinea are among the
last large groups to be brought into the world community, they are
of major interest to ecologists, social anthropologists and
cultural historians. This study synthesises previous
anthropological research on the New Guinea highland peoples and
cultures and demonstrates the interrelations of ecological
adaptation, population and society. In describing, analysing and
comparing the technology, culture and community life of peoples of
the highland and the highland fringe, Professor Brown shows the
special character of these societies, which have developed in
isolation. In addition to examining the unique regional development
of the New Guinea highland peoples, this book, a study in
ecological and social anthropology, brings together theses two
analytical fields and demonstrates their interrelationships.
