Abstract
Simbu, a tribal people of the Papua New Guinea highlands, were traditionally warriors; aggressive behavior is stimulated in youths and admired in men. Sexual segregation, male dominance, group solidarity, and rivalry directed by big men against opponent individuals and groups continue to support men's aggression. In the historicperiod this has taken the form of resurgence of violent tribal warfare and political conflict.
