Although the 95,000 islanders no longer eat "long pig"-the name their cannibalistic ancestors gave to human flesh-many of them are still rather remote from modern times. Tribes in some areas still use stone tools and hunt with bows and arrows. On Pentecost island, the favorite sport is free-fall diving from a 100-ft. tower to the jungle floor-with only a trailing vine tied to the ankles to break the fall a few inches from the ground...

Though as guests we always got sumptuous food, ordinary Chinese food is probably a good bit simpler than American.

When Ray Davies wasn't flopping around like a marionette with...
...even further back. His evidence that the jawbone belonged to Homo rather than a hominid is probably based on subtle differences: slight nuances of size and shape in the fossil teeth. But Johanson is convinced that these teeth belonged to a full-fledged Homo, who probably used them to eat meat, which he obtained by "using tools, possibly bones, to kill animals." Furthermore, since there is recent geological evidence that Ethiopia's Awash Valley may once have been part of the Arabian Peninsula. Johanson ventures an even more imaginative theory: the cradle of man may be Arabia, not Africa...
