N2 - In this chapter we report on aspects of research undertaken among a small population (the Mian) living on the northern fringes of New Guinea's mountainous backbone. The ethnographic setting is empirically unusual in important respects, and while our research demonstrates that cultural factors are integral to the epidemiological and broader social history of the population, it raises questions about the methodological shape of cultural epidemiology.
