Excellent read. I was wondering how they deal with prions. It seems their “solution” is not feeding the human meat to children and usually not living past middle age. They seem to die from a lot of diseases, and I can’t help but think some of them are prion related.
This is my second read. It’s a fascinating glimpse of a Papuan culture that will soon be changed forever by contact with our civilisation.
Yeah the way the author points out the connection between their destruction myth and the realities of what’s going to happen to their culture was really poignant
