I want to correct a major historical mistake. To date, there is a legend that Mikloucho-Maklai frightened the warrior Papuas when he demonstrately set fire to alcohol. The Aborigines seemed to be terrified that a white man would burn their sea, and they withdrew.
But the latest researchers show that the papuas were already familiar with the properties of alcohol. And the Aborigines were frightened by the idea that an alien could burn all the fire water brought by him.
