	First Contact (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The colonial white man’s first contact with the mountain valley people of New Guinea is that event through which the ethnographer tried to capture a sense of the local society by observing their reactions to this historical transformation.
		First Contact tells the story of the “discovery” of the New Guinea highlands by Australian gold miners, and to be more precise, lead by Michael Leahy and his brothers.
		The scenes with the first airplane arriving, the phonograph, and the accounts of the natives believing that the white men were their dead kin returned to life, all add to the inherent feeling that either their will occur a great bonding between the white men and the natives or it will end in tragedy.

	University of Chicago: Department of Anthropology: About the Department
		His fieldwork in Tepoztlan, Mexico (which Cole viewed as one of a series of "background" studies on the sources of American immigration), was the first anthropological study of a modern "peasant" community.
		Despite the fact that he was forced by revolutionary activity to remove his family to Mexico City, Tepoztlan became for Redfield the typical representation of the harmoniously integrated "folk society" which was the foundation of his subsequent work.
		The status of the whole venture as a contribution to "the scientific study of society," however, was questioned by various critics in the early 1950s after a restudy of Tepoztlan by Oscar Lewis, who emphasized internal community conflict and the hardships of peasant life.

	Department of Anthropology : University of Vermont
		One of the first, if not the first, undergraduate course in anthropology in the United States was taught here in 1886 by a geologist, and subsequent Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, George Henry Perkins.
		Anthropology at UVM became a separate department in 1971 and moved to its present location on the top floor of Williams Hall with its striking views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks.
		We also feel a strong obligation to provide students who are not concentrating in anthropology with a sense of the discipline and especially some idea of the diversity of human kind and an understanding of how and why people act as they do.

	First contact (science fiction) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		First contact is a common science-fictional theme about the first meeting between humans and aliens, or, more broadly, of any sentient race's first encounter with another one.
		The absence of First Contact is evident in other works of science fiction, such as Asimov's Foundation series, where the Galactic Empire of Humanity is the undisputed ruler of the known cosmos, since no aliens exist.
		In science fiction, First Contact between intelligent species has resulted both in the ushering of eras of peace, and in cosmic warfare.

		When I originally heard about First Contact, a trip offered by Woolford's trekking company, Papua Adventures, I couldn't believe he was really doing what he claimed to be doing.
		But there are, Woolford assured me. From his home in Ubud, Bali, he explained the strategy behind his First Contact trips.
		Of course, this outdated and arguably racist view ignores the fact that first contact has historically resulted in a deadly tsunami of disease, war, famine, slavery, and proselytization like those that engulfed nearly all of the world's tribal societies following the arrival of European explorers.

		First contact is a common science-fictional theme about the first meeting between humans and aliens.
		The novel The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov and films Alien and ET are good examples of First Contact stories.
		Since the best evidence suggests that there has never been contact between humans and extraterrestrial species, the degree of culture shock which might occur is highly speculative.
