This paper deals with contrasts between on the one hand Dani cultures in the Central Highlands of West Irian, and on the other hand cultures in what are now the Eastern and Western Highlands Provinces of Papua New Guinea. In two earlier papers I compared Grand Valley with Bokondini Dani, a Western Dani group (Ploeg 1966 and Ploeg in press). Fortunately, Feil's recent analysis of the evolution of Highland cultures (1987) now allows me to elaborate on these papers. The present paper consists of the following parts. First, I shall recapitu late the main points of the second comparison paper (Ploeg in press). Then I shall discuss Feil's conclusions with regard to the different development of eastern and western highland cultures, which I shall apply, in the third part, to the Dani. The fourth, and final, part contains my conclusions
