Summary

This stimulating volume is the outcome of 25 years of studies since the International Biological Year in 1967, which led to the founding of the Institute of Human Biology in Madang in 1968 and its later transposition to Goroka in the Eastern Highlands Province, where, since 1972, it has been the Papua New Guinea Institute of Medical Research.
