Abstract
Papua New Guinea has seen incredibly rapid social change Most of the country’s coastal population, however, have had a longer period of time in which to adjust to the “modern” world than many people in the highlands whose existence was unknown to the outside world until the late 1930s. Extensive areas of the highlands were connected to the rest of the country by road less than two decades ago.
