    I first thought the ocean crossing was the dangerous part, but actually going on the Guinean inland jungle river with local tribes looked more dangerous from diseases, wildlife and insects.

      Dear Greg Wilcox, there is also an atmospheric CO2 drought at the moment, don't be fooled by elitists who want to increase their wealth by pulling the wool over your eyes, Al Gore was worth $1.7m when he entered politics
      Today he's worth over $330m, he gained that wealth by terrifying children with lies, what happened to the onset of the next ice age they were telling us kids to prepare for in the 1970s
      Archeology and geology tells a very different story to what you're hearing, live well and be happy my friend

    Lol those Papuans aren't too bright, why would they want tobacco instead of money? They should be working for money, and with money they can build themselves proper houses and communities etc. With money they could at least buy themselves small motorboats to replace the canoe.

      Actually, if you know anything about the History of money and currency, you would realise that tobacco and (in the case of the early European settlers of Australia, rum, hence the "Rum Corp" was used as the primary form of currency, all troops and other settlers were paid in rum) many other useful commodities, have served as currency, and in numerous cultures, European and otherwise. It is nothing more than a medium of exchange to facilitate trade. I think tobacco makes more sense than digits typed into a computer, backed by absolutely nothing, having no real world use, and essentially created from nothing. There is always demand for tobacco, which takes time, capital and represents hard work to produce...unlike digits that are simply entered into a ledger on a computer, created from nothing, backed by nothing, that took no hard work and capital investment to produce, having no natural rarity. So, maybe the Papuans understand Value, Rarity and Hard Work a lot better than yourself. The reasons that I have outlined above are the Reason and Logic behind Gold being used as money for over 6000 years by hundreds of different cultures and societies.
