The academic concerned has the following areas of specialization

Hunter-gatherers, cultural systems of sharing and exchange, ethnoarchaeology, ethology ecology, warfare, oral history; Highland Papua New Guinea, southern Africa.

It would be even nice to see our own Engans venturing into academic strands like this too. When that happens, I am sure we'll have very detailed and accurate information about our cultures and systems on record for our future generations that we can be justifiably proud of.

These kinds of things need massive financial support and years of hard work through perseverance.

However with the readily available technology (video camera, digital camera, MP3 recorder, computers), we can do much better.

When things are done properly, it can become a source of revenue (direct or indirect).

However, it's a pity that today's students appear to think that there's money to make in law, medicine, engineering, IT and those urban based trades only.
