National Geographic article on the Meakambut people of New Guinea

I was disappointed that this article didn’t really spell out for the average reader that these people have just about lost their culture and way of life (and now are decimated by introduced diseases) purely as a result of the encroachment of civilization. Still, it’s worth reading and contains some great photos.
