This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1889 edition. Excerpt: ...many of their class in the South Seas and New Guinea, made a stout resistance to the progress of European civilization. Cannibalism is frequently referred to by classical and early Christian writers. Perhaps some of my friends and fellow countrymen are not aware that St. Jerome gives his personal testimony to the practice in a way not very flattering to our ancestors. He states " that when he was a boy living in Gaul he beheld the Scots--a people of Britain--eating human flesh; and though there were plenty of cattle and sheep at their disposal, yet they would prefer a ham of the herdsman or a piece of female breast as a luxury"! Statements of old authors still more absurd induced some thinkers to believe that cannibalism is unnatural, and to deny that it was ever practised by human beings except under the pressure of starvation. The accurate observation of late travellers has however put it beyond doubt that cannibalism has been and is systematically practised, and practised by those who are by no means the most degraded of the human race. The aborigines of Australia, for instance, who are generally considered an extremely degraded type, feed on herbs, snakes, worms; whilst the aborigines of New Zealand, who are admitted to be the most highly developed race with which European civilization has had to compete, were, until recently, systematic feeders on human flesh. It has been supposed that the reason why, among the Jews and several eastern nations, the eating of swine's flesh was forbidden as an unclean food was its resemblance to human flesh, and the danger that persons accustomed to the one might not retain their abhorrence of the other. The question is how the abominable practice arose. Some say from superstition; others, from hunger;...

New Guinea, the world's largest tropical island, is a land of great contrasts, ranging from small glaciers on its highest peaks to broad mangrove swamps in its lowlands and hundreds of smaller islands and coral atolls along its coasts. Divided between two nations, the island and its neighboring archipelagos form Indonesia’s Papua Province (or Irian Jaya) and the independent nation of Papua New Guinea, both former European colonies. Most books on New Guinea have been guided by these and other divisions, separating east from west, prehistoric from historic, precontact from postcontact, colonial from postcolonial. This is the first work to consider New Guinea and its 40,000-year history in its entirety. The volume opens with a look at the Melanesian region and argues that interlocking exchange systems and associated human interchanges are the "invisible government" through which New Guinea societies operate. Succeeding chapters review the history of encounters between outsiders and New Guinea's populations. They consider the history of Malay involvement with New Guinea over the past two thousand years, demonstrating the extent to which west New Guinea in particular was incorporated into Malay trading and raiding networks prior to Western contact. The impact of colonial rule, economic and social change, World War II, decolonization, and independence are discussed in the final chapter.
