A preliminary report on fertility and socio-economic changes in two Papua New Guinea communities
The Wopkaimin people of the Star mountain census division were first contacted by the Australian government authorities in 1963 (Jackson, 1982). They number about 800 people (National Statistical Office, 1983) who live in seven villages scattered, over an area of about 1700 square kilometres, in the north-west corner of the Western Province of Papua New Guinea (PNG) (Figure 4.1). Kennecott geologists, discovered copper in the area in late 1968 an…
Variability in body physique, ecology, and subsistence in the Fly River region of Papua New Guinea
There are some 40,000 indigenous peoples of the Fly River drainage in Papua New Guinea. The 4,000‐mm rainfall contour ecologically demarcates hunter‐horticulturalist peoples living in the rainforests of the Upper Fly from hunter‐gatherer peoples living in the savanna‐swamplands of the Middle and Lower Fly. A complex of factors operate to create significant physical differences between Upper Fly peoples and those of the Middle and Lower Fly. The e…
Mining, modernisation and dietary change among the Wopkaimin of Papua New Guinea
This paper examines retrospectively the changes in food and nutrient intake which have taken place over a nine‐year period in which the intrusion of a major gold and copper mine has brought rapid socio‐economic and ecological change to the Papua New Guinea Wopkaimin population, especially those who now rely upon cash incomes. A small proportion of the population remains subsistence‐oriented. Since 1975 taro (Colocasia), the traditional staple, ha…
