Abstract

In later papers, I shall discuss the Arapesh social, economic, and religious life, but I wish to conclude this first paper by placing the Arapesh in relation to the currents of purposive and of inexplicit diffusion to which they are continually exposed. The very simplicity and meagerness of their material culture lends itself to such an analysis.
