1948

Ian Saem Majnep (c. 1948 – September 2007) was a naturalist from the Kalam people of Papua New Guinea who wrote about the plants, animals and the belief systems of the Kalam people while collaborating with the British anthropologist and ethnobiologist Ralph Bulmer. He worked as a field assistant for Bulmer at the University of Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby, and co-authored several books with Bulmer. He was also a main contributor to a dictionary of the Kalam language, which was published posthumously.

Majnep was born around 1948. He belonged to the Kalam people of Madang Province, Papua New Guinea. The name Majnep means "Just sweet potatoes", derived from the situation faced by his family at the time of his birth, of having nothing to eat but sweet potatoes. When he was just four, his father died after a fall from a tree and his mother, Kalam, took care of him. They lived in the mountain forest above Gobnem (pronounced Gombnem) and in the Gulkm Valley. His mother was described by him as an expert hunter of animals and knowledgeable on the plants. He learned to recognize and survive on plants and animals around him from a very young age.
