Portrait of a Dani child (West Papua). HUMANKIND, limited-edition, premium, museum-quality standards book featuring over 200 large-format photos. Available on my website: https://robertopazziphoto.com The Dani are an ethnic group mainly inhabiting the Baliem valley in the central highlands of West Papua (the Indonesian province of New Guinea). Found only in 1938 by the American aviator and explorer Richard Archbold, they remained until then technically still in the stone age. This discovery is still one of the last contact in the history of the planet between the Western civilization and another unknown and independently evolved. Their horticulture advanced technique suggests a long stay in the valley while other hypothesis suggest that the transition from hunting and gathering to the cultivation age have taken place in the last two centuries. The basis of their diet is made up of sweet potato. Pig breeding is very widespread but its meat is consumed infrequently and mainly during very important ceremonies. Hunting is little practiced. Dani men wear a penis sheath called "koteka" obtained by emptying and drying a pumpkin. Dani leaders are used to cover their body with a mixture of animal fat and charcoal powder, distinguishing him from the warriors. There are only few working tools used by Dani and all of them are built using stone, bone and bamboo. The introduction of the metal, due to the influence of the West, took place only a few decades ago. The weapons used by Dani are spears, bows and arrows. To date, they surveyed just over 300 Dani tribe, including some made by now by a few individuals. Website: https://robertopazziphoto.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/roberto_pazzi_photo
